Rustproofing the 480

Hey all, I wanna sure up my 1994 480 for a bit longer, where's the best place to start sealing up for rust?

A Chap the other day was telling me they rust from the inside out because they're double skinned, would it help if I pull out the bungs and spray all inside there with waxoyl?

Cheers,

Robert

waxoyl everything you can

remove the inner wings (big black plastic ones) and throuoghly clean the arches out, paying attention to the accumulation of crud round the lip of the arch....really clean it good....then when dry, waxoyl all the exposed metal etc....some people leave the inner wings off too permanently i believe.
always a good place to start

Yup, if its on the 480 and made of metal, rustproof it!

Although leaving the arch liners out causes all the road crud to get thrown up onto your door hinges and door wiring which isn't a good thing really.
