Default No wonder I have such low milage

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/41547/mvc-620f.jpg"></center><p>Can anybody spot what is missing? LOL

One and half day project becomes a summer of frustration. I decided to repaint the suspension and replace the control arm bushings, on a small job that started with new struts...... now everthing is being down from subframe bushings on up

The job is going ok, just not more than 20 minutes at a time to get near the car.
By the way I've only 133867 km (only 82998 miles for my american friends)
Does anyone have less? Just curious to know other cars are out there all have such high milage as i saw in the April posts.

How are you keeping the rust off of it smurfy?
I decided to park mine for winters 8 years ago.

Default I live in Vancouver, so rust has not been a major problem...

for the smaller rust spots, I have applied something called "Rust Avenger", about $7 a small bottle from Canadian Tire, it oxidizes the rust, turning into a hard, paintable black surface... this has been quite helpful in stopping small rust areas along the wheel wells... am having more problems getting parts for this thing though, as they were never that common on the west coast...
