nang Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Got mine from Rimmers about 3 years ago. No rust but she lives inside and doesn't go out in the rain.Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMPUS Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Sam, going to have a look at paddock .. Tony, mine does live outside most of the time as i drive it everyday.But i know when i take the hardtop off, the studs on the body work will be very rusty again.. And as some are already a bit loose i need to put new ones on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
