We see red - Rust vs. GWagon
Rust - our new best enemy caused us a lot of headache and sleepless nights, but we met the challenge.
While inspecting the automobile for purchase, some corrosion had been evident, but we classified them as nothing unusual for a more than 30 years old car.
Nasty surprises were awaiting us when removing the interior linings, floor coverings and the wooden floor plate.
Especially the 40 cm Binz-extension of the car had been heavily damaged by corrosion
The first action in the fight against the rust was sanding, sanding, sanding. Second, we treated the affected parts with a liquid rust converter. Whether on, below, behind, or besides the car - every position was taken to not miss any corroded spot.
Mission: fighting the rust.
After countless applications of a rust converter (we used "Fertan"), we had to face the music and admit that the damage to the bodywork was partly so heavy, that only cutting out the affected areas would be a reasonable and sustainable solution.
