Rust Proofing

Chris Stiebel — Posted on The Triumph Experience
Sunday November 15, 2009 11:31 PM
Have spent most of the weekend applying deoderized fish oil into every nook and cranny that I can find within the body, doors and hood. Still have to get the new bootlid back from the spray shop and then I'll give that the treatment as well. i see the bootlid as particularly vulnerable to rust around the lower seam areas as the metal is totally un protected there. We sepecially created some holes in the lower outer sills as well as some in the inner sills to make sure that we could get the fluid right in where it counts.

The body is now standing dripping oil out through many crevices, and when that stops we will apply a body wax or maybe Tectyl into the same areas to try and seal them off. Being close to the sea as well as New Zealands massive annual rainfall means that these cars are very vulnerable to rust.

The new floors, sills and rear wings will have left some exposed weld areas where there is no protection.
