94 olds vert Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Spent 12 years in myrtle beach, SC and spent 4 years in a climate controlled garage in MI before I bought it last year. Quote
Twenty Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Aside from the usual surface rust on some suspension components, mine's solid. Thank you undercoating! Anyone who doesn't get that here is just asking for trouble. I'll have to get pictures the next time it's on jack stands. Quote

AL Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Ill be undercoating my car sometime in the next couple of paychecks Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 If you're talking about undercoating, like that stuff that resembles spray on bedliner, I wouldn't do it. That was done on my 89. The undercoating traps moisture against the paint and promotes rust. Every undercoated car I've come across is far rustier than cars that were untreated. If you're talking about the rustproofing which is some kind of an oily-waxy substance that will make your fingers nasty every time you touch it, that stuff should work. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 The oily/waxy stuff is where its at if you drive your vehicle on salted roads Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted October 13, 2010 Report Posted October 13, 2010 Here's my '88... Surprisingly very clean for its age and being in MN's god awful road chemicals Quote
AL Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 I meant rust proofing with the oily substance Quote
MemphisMan Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 Has that thing been in MN it's whole life? You're right, it really is both clean and in good shape for it's age and the conditions up there. Quote
RustyRodder Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 mines pretty clean...Take a closer look thei weekend, but i didnt spot any rust when i picked it up! Quote
KingVee Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Fuck if I dared looking for rust, I found too much already and that is only on the body... If the paint on top of the rocker/door-frame? at the rear-passenger door is bubbling, do I really need to investigate further? Fucking Quebec... Quote
AL Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 My 97 is beyond bubbling there lol there is no paint left on the top of any door frame/rocker Quote
Twenty Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 If your Quebec car is 10 years old and hasn't fallen apart yet, you're doing good. Quote
KingVee Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Dude, like a week or two ago, I saw a G6 V6 with the truck lid ends just rusted the fuck out, I couldn't believe it... No rustproofing much? Quote
Twenty Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 I see the odd car here that has rust, and is only a few years old. My city sucks for winter though. Instead of clearing the roads (Which would be the new poilicy if the PROPER candidate for mayor had been elected), they just pour massive amounts of salt and rocks on them and go on their way. Quote
AL Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 I wish I would remember to have my camara with me when I have my 03 on the hoist Quote
npfd Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 I'm pretty impressed with the way most of your guys cars! I don't have photos, but the 97 CS driven every winter here in Montreal, the underneath not so nice. We also stopped oiling it a few years back, so the trailing arms, leaf parts to support it all has surface rust. Even below the rocker panels is rusting pretty bad, I think to the point where its coming out from the Driver's side front rib cladding. This same spot the A pillar has rust. The passenger side A pillar has lots of rust where the highest door mount is, this goes as far to the roof, by rusting from inside out. I even took off the rust on the roof part, and painted it, and after a few months its bubbling again! There's rust on the inner wheel wells, also I should mention we redid the front fenders again, near the wheel well... Quote

I find the salt here destroys cars... Quote
