Galvanization will only work so long. Audi Coupe front wings are like hens teeth despite being galvanized (they normally have Audi 80 wings on which have a slightly different line up to the door/windscreen). Galvanization is no guarantee to protect from road salt.

 

Galvanization is by no means a protective coating. It is intended to act as the sacrificial anode in the electrochemical process of ferrous oxidation, hence it will prolong the life of the cathode (the steel sheetmetal), but when used up, the steel is left to the elements.

This also explains why galvanized cars start to rust in odd places, i.e. not necessarily places that are directly exposed to the usual causes for rust. They start where the sacrificial anode is 'eaten' away first, and that is a spot where the highest concentration of current occurs.

Once started, they can rust there even worse than non galvanized cars, since the manufacturers usually don't apply any other form of rust protection to galvanized cars.

£595 with long long test and 6 months tax. 25K.
 

now a 998cc, came to me without an engine and i have fitted the 998 unit to get it back on the road so not wanting to mislead anyone, this is a 998cc, not 1275cc

 
Can't grumble about that - better than seeing it scrapped eh?

I thought that, IIRC the Tamiya 1:24 model of the City Turbo came with a scooter as well..

It turns out torqueofthedevil.com is a now defunct tuning company that had a rolling road all the youf's took their cars to.

I might be wrong, but I think only this issue did:

^^^^  Is the guy pictured inside the City flicking the V's or smoking an imaginary cigarette?

My goodness, his feedback is terrible. 

 

And odd.

Front springs have gone soft on that Cortina estate, he's had to tie helium balloons to the wing mirrors to lift it up a bit!

That Ascona makes me sad :-(

 

I was trying to find it on ebay and bid on it before checking the previous page.

It was used on 'The Field of Blood (some TV thing here a couple of years ago):

I sincerely hope that the crash was not as serious as it looks from that crumpled lovely Ascona.
