Rust Question

If a zed stands out on the drive way for 3-4 years without moving or you driving it. How bad would the rust be?

    how long is that piece of string in your pocket? depends on where in the country what the streets like prevailing wind etc etc etc. basically you just cant say. i left my capri parked up on teh road for about 6 months when i came back to it the salt spray from other peoples cars had fubared the sill.

    uk weather! So all of it snow and rain etc! and it was on a drive way, so no splashes!

    I talk from experience here, my Z was rust free and sat outside my house through 2 winters. My sills are rotted and the complete back end (diff etc) all had surface rust. Any leak from the targas will give you condensation issues and everything inside will start getting surface rust too. I think without driving and letting wind give everything a blowout while you drive, you could be asking for trouble.
