Would I be hanged and neutered if I did this?
I mean even with rustproofing, new undercoat and all?

if it's already beat up.. then i wouldn't feel so bad.. but it'd be a shame if it was a nice clean one

You guys must be kidding me!
Rust proofing (After a good body job), and a fresh new undercoat won't do jackshit? ahh man, this sucks! This car has to be my daily driver!

Btw, I didn't steal anyones avatar. This smiley guy is public property!

if you really like the car, dont' do it

if you od'nt give a shit aobut rust, who cares, do it.

If i can find an AE86 in good enough condition for light daily driving ill be driving it all year, and save the MR2 for weekends and nice days.

Washing it in a wash bay + pressure washer will help keep the rust down...taking it to a car wash once a week will get expensive seeing as they are so expensive nowdays.

.....pressure washer so that u can push the salt into the seams? o.O

having a car is expensive

and washing it weekly doesn't help. cuz you wash it and you gotta drive it home right?

guess what'll happen on the drive home

that's right, the salt's right back where it doesn't belong.

Lafora, so what do you think will be the best way?

Washing car is best that I can think

86B · 04-23-2003, 12:19 AM

Don't drive it in winter is the best way...

It's dangerous anyways... lightweight RWD without traction control, ABS, airbags, and paper thin body panels... is a coffin waiting for you...
Although i do admire the ppl who do drive it in winter... man do they got balls!!

I don't...

Lafora · 04-23-2003, 01:45 AM

what he said.

don't drive it.
