"I'll just touch up that bit of rust"... sound familiar!

An interesting thread. Good detail photos but you will have to join to see them.

That thread is what scares me when looking at many 'rust free' Z's advertised for sale. Sure it can look good on the outside but once you strip it back you find a whole lot of 'previous repair' work that wasn't done to correct standard.

Sounds like my 1600, rusted from inside out.

This is why my red car hasn't been pulled apart, ignorance is bliss. Having said that I think it's had a pretty good life in a garage for most of it and the visible spots of rust coming through haven't changed in the 14 years I've owned it. It's pandora's box, once you open it, you don't know how far you'll have to go.

I will be restoring another 240 for my self very soon. I will be removing all the outer skins and taking it back to its bare bones to make sure I get every bit of rust. I will document as much as I can. It will be a major job.
