Rust!

[John Keighley]

Kevin,
A common problem - particularly if the car has any history of service in the UK where salt ingress from winter conditions creates a potential and insidious problem which manifests itself with all the visible evidence later. In our case this was not apparent until the car was stripped. Part of the refurbishment program my 410 went through related to removal and replacement of the entire boot floor + outriggers and work to the under sills areas in order to eradicate the damage but even so, this was not as serious as with some other cars. The possible reason for this could be that my vehicle spent some of its life in Canada - much of that time in an inactive state. As far as I'm aware, BCL do little in terms of corrosion protection. If it's any consolation RRs rot very nicely - especially Silver Shadows.
