dont get me wrong it is a bloody good idea, but if new quarter goin on anyhow and you dont spill petty on it, it should last 10 years
i don't think it's the petrol that rots it. mine had only bubbles of rust outside where petrol would be spilt. but inside, as you can see, was awful!
something to do with ford using a thin squirt of rust preventer that completely failed to go anywhere near where the water would drain and get trapped!
with any luck, this car will be swimming in waxoyl or similar very soon
