I WANT one!!!

will have Eureka there & may have Lotus Esprit S1 on it's 1st outing ever!!... just past cert, this car has never been road legal antwhere in the world. so it's a brand new S1 Esprit, hoping it passes compliance on Tuesday

1 part molasses (get from farmlands) to 10 parts water.

surface rust gone in a few days very very pitted rust in couple of weeks.

gets into A pillars, panel gaps etc where sand blasting can't.

it really does work I put my Austin 8 van body into a 4000L swimming pool  of it. ate all the rust away so now I can weld patches to the solid steel.

Lasts for approx 6 months and at the end all you are left with is sugary water (with a little iron)

don't have to get swimming pool ($159 from warehouse if you do) small parts easily cleaned up with just a bucket of it

I see in the local paper it's open to all classic cars, $5 entry

Thanks,

I ride at a lot slower pace now tho   

​for my Esprit check out for now

Hi All

Sunday 2nd October 2016

The weather looks good so it'd be a shame to waste it.

Hope to see you there.

​

Thank you all for your nice comments & glad you like it.

I love to see people out and about in ther classic and/or different cars i think they brighten up the roads, hopefully give people joy in seeing them as much as you like driving them, so keep your cars going and out there.

The S1 Esprit is almost road legal so look out for that one too on canterbury roads :0)

thanks again Robb & Karly

How you found out about oldschool: couple of guys (sorry can't remember your names) in Diahatsu stopped by after seeing our Eureka park in Rangioras "Try n Save" carpark

Anything else you want to add: TO REMOVE RUST use molasses (1 part molasses to 10 parts water) leave to soak for couple of weeks it will eat the rust away leaving shiny steel, believe me it works I put 4000L into pool & put the Austin Van body into it, there are youtube videos of people doing this. Non corrosive and at the end you are left with Sugary Water so bio friendly.
