So before I commit to buying a Z and restoring and modifying it I'm doing a massive amount of research and planning so I know what I'm letting myself in for. I'm wanting the car to end up as a daily driver and the main thing that has me worried is rust of all things. After the advice on here I'll be looking at a hopefully fairly rust free/minimal rust import from the USA.
The plan will be to fully strip the car, media blast it and prime the car. I will then convert to RHD and repair any panels that require it and fully paint the shell.
The big thing I'm struggling to find info on is rust prevention after all the rust has been removed and the shell painted. What needs doing to prevent its return? Is the new paint enough or should I be doing more? Do I need special coatings underneath the car and in the arches? Some people talk about waxing certain areas, like inside the chassis rails.
All info is appreciated. Cheers.
