Good Day,
I'm new to MK2 Maintenance.
Got a car for the kid as a daily driver with a mint frame for Canada Couple of issues but really mecanically incline so pleasure to talk with you guys.
Hi and welcome along.
What are the general conditions of the cars in your area? I kind of imagine Canada has a similar climate to UK, are the cars as rusty as ours?
Well if i wasn't in a remote area yes all car pretty much rust out. Where I'm located at the moment salt haven't been introduce to unfroze the road before 5 years ago and that car haven't see the road since 2013 so the under body is mint. couple of surface rust on the rest of the car due to scratch on the car so Nothing that sanding and a good coat of paint can't solve.
And climate depend a lot of where you are in Canada. here the temperature vary from -55C to + 38C in the warmest days. and in the winter there up to 12 foot of snow in the worst winters.
Maintenance wise I got a Jeep JK as main driver so got in the a bit of maintenance.
