Body rust preventative and rust conversion

[bolt7484]

Hi guys, I must apologise if this question has been asked before but I have been out of the loop for a while.

I want to do rust prevention counter measures on my 280z (lhd)

I noticed on the weekend that I have a small amount of sinister rust activity starting inside the hatch at the top near the hinge. This is starting from inside of the panel as it has been fitted with a louver and a moron induced 3mm hole :-( But is certainly not worth getting out the oxy any time soon. Pics to come if interested.

I am certainly not new to Zeds this being my 4th and being fully aware of the sleepless nights listening for the sound of rust developing in the garage.

This car is from the USA and appears to be in extra ordinary condition with a fantastic body. I have had her seven years.

Question is:

1. Is there a product anyone has found successful in converting the rust process prior to spaying inside the cavity? Rust converter, inhibitor or molasses lol. Yes access is very limited.

2. Can anyone recommend a flexible spray probe with a hose and small probe to feed into cavities to spray protectant in the rest of the body? Or have a design I can make?

 

Thanks Folks

I used "Eastwood internal frame coating" for rust protection (ie not conversion): http://www.ppcco.com.au/eastwood83.html

For the rear hatch I removed the hatch and sprayed heaps into the cavity areas and then rotated the hatch so that the pooled liquid flowed around all four sides to ensure a good coating at the seam between the internal and external panel.

Thanks for that, looks the ideal product.
