what are the best methods to rust proof a car

could you also galvanise a 2cv body? or bit of it, i know it sounds strange but you could park it in the sea then and it will live!

You can galvanise them - Erasmo on here has a galvy 'shell. -

Me too + our rust proofing, which is quite good. By using rust proof firm u are in best hands.

Be aware though that once the shells are hot dipped galvanised they distort all over the place. I toyed with the idea of getting them to galvanise a 2CV shell a few years back. I went to Duck services to have a look. The shells are so ripply afterwards that I decided I simply couldn't live with something that cosmetically horrible.

A less brural altenative is to get the shell acid dipped which will take off all the paint, seam sealer and rust and then get it E coated once you've welded it up. I've just had a Volvo PV 544 shell done at SPL in Birmingham.
