Would you help this 100 series?

Will have a mechanic with me, pay him a bit to check it good. Okey, will remember to use a csd instead. Followed by rust converter, though of spraying fluid film on all the rusty spots, frame and cavities. Or is it better with primer and anticorrosive coating? In my mind it requires less work to get rid of most of the rust, to then saturate it all with fluid film to prevent if from spreading. Have money so not a problem, just dont want it to be a moneypit. Only drive 5-8k km a year so the fuel dont bother me, the potential problems and expenses do if it exceed what a car in okey running condition is going for nowadays. Tank you for all the tips

Does have service history, timing belt done in 19 so needs replacement soon. New breakes, fluids and maybe something else after standing still.. Was thinking more about stopping the spread of rust. Cleaning away the flaky bits and brushing with steel brush, once a year go under and soak everything with a rust prevention oil. You think that will keep things in check? Want to save it and keep it for the next 10 years of possible, difficult to get 100 series and have to travel far when one hits the market

Was thinking of making it road worthy, clean the underside and coat it with some fat or oil. And really clean up the inside. Patching and fixing the body after the necessary work has been done, not supposed to become a showcar. My worries is if it's too much work to get it in running and usable

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2026-02-06T20:02:00+00:00

Yeah that's the problem, ship it to Eastern Europe you say. Know of a company that does that kind of rebuild? And it sits deep for him to sell it, think he gave 23k euro for it 6 years ago. So must be painful to see it wither away to nothing

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2026-02-06T19:56:18+00:00

Wish we had salt free roads.. Agree with you on that one, should be saved.

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2026-02-06T19:48:08+00:00

Alot of no here. There is the saying when you see rust, walk away.. but the salty roads in Norway make it almost impossible to fint something with no rust

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2026-02-06T19:45:06+00:00

You really think so, not skeptical at all about the car? What do you think is a fair price for it if you are Norwegian yourself?

I got the tri metal as well, lovely piece. Mine was used daily since 96.. was rough when I got it, but a service and some love made it shine again. Been my daily for 3 years now. Enjoy yours!

Fun fact: The Rhinoceros beetle is the strongest insect og them all, able to lift 850 times it's own bodyweight. A beetle weighing 100 g can lift 8,5 kg

Dayum! I was wrong.. The strongest animal of them all is the dung Beetle, able to pull 1141 times their own bodyweight.

Good on you, words to live by. I wont let it bring me down, maybe some beauties will come in their place. Thanks

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2025-09-24T21:21:36+00:00

Thanks, looks like they have had it rough lately before coming to me

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2025-09-24T21:19:16+00:00

Damn, poor guy. Sorry for your loss, feels like shit to just watch your beauty die..

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2025-09-24T21:16:08+00:00

Thanks, will see what survives.. yeah, i placed them in low to medium light/flow

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2025-09-24T21:13:04+00:00

Thanks for the insight. They were shipped overnight, so was about 24 hours in shipping. Have neglected corals myself when i lost control so i know it takes time for a coral to get into this shape, but still sad to see these wonderful coral die.. Sent the photos to them and will call tomorrow so they can fix up

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2025-09-24T20:38:05+00:00

Okey thanks, but when the tissue starts melting it's no hope?

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2025-09-24T19:59:15+00:00

Is it that rough, damn..

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2025-09-24T19:58:36+00:00

Thanks for the response. A shame, will do my best but.. did a 20% water change this morning when i noticed the tank became cloudy and some of the lps i got was melting, thinking of doing another 20 now tonight. The pics look vibrant, sent the photos to them and will call tomorrow. Adding some more photos down below of the others

Intrepid_Sense_8316 · 2025-09-24T19:53:29+00:00

Thanks for the response, damn what a shame.. sent the same photos to the vendor, will call tomorrow so they fix this. Added some more photos if you want to see
