Hey fellas,
Does anyone here that owns a boxer engined car live near the beach? Im moving house in the next week and Im horrified to be living so close to the beach, about <100m infact.
My 88 series II 33 actually doesnt have very much rust right now and Im looking at keeping it that way. The car will be stored in a garage and is sheltered from the direct wind coming off the sea (whole house is) and certainly wont get any direct salt spray.
But I am worried that just being in that sort of environment the body will soon deteriorate right in front of me....
I plan on using a cavity wax on every acessable nook and cranny - ie inside of doors, inside the boot, bonnet, sills etc just go nuts with the stuff!!!!!!!!
I always wash it once a week, and I always wash the wheel wells and squirt the underside and generally give it a good waxing bi-monthly.
Should I be concerned, or will the love and attention I give my Alfa keep the rust away??
Experiences of others needed!!
