The winter arrive soon...
Hello !

It's the first time for me that I have a 84's car ! so do you drive it during the winter with the salt on the road etc or does it wait that the winter leave before to come back on the road ? . If yes, what do you do to avoid the rust ? thank you !!! Smile

Spy,

My car was treated with Dinitrol a long long time ago and I must say, where it was treated it has stand the test of time (and salt) very well, where it wasn't treated the car is rusted away badly (underside of the doors, front fenders, bootlid, etc). Most has been repair, other bits are awaiting repair.

If your car has been properly undercoated by a professional company, then there shouldn't be a problem. If it hasn't, please do yourself a favor, park the car in a nice warm garage for the winter and don't take it out until the snow and the salt have disappeared, these cars can rust away in a couple of years, Japanese steel in the 80's was not made to last.

Greetz,
