    And living inland helps too. I love all the rust free cars I keep finding in Canberra. Our bad ones are still better than the good ones on the coast.

    there is no easy way to prevent rust,the metal needs to be clean and rust free and yes it is time consuming and boring .I use a very coarse wet and dry (used dry) and rainex rustbuster and then fishoil and then a good primer and a top coat .I have a HT kingswood that i have owned for 34 years and i treated inside the doors and boot and i havent touched it in about 30 years and it was left outside and used as a daily driver until about 5 years ago and still all good

    i still have a can of fisholene and have done most of my cars with it with good results.When i did my monaro i waited for it to dry and also used a topcoat. I have used POR and KBS etc but really dont like just painting over rust like they say you can
