Rust and corrosion of the body You can see the paint floating on the car body. It is due to rust and corrosion. After all there was a hole. That is also left and right. It is recommended to cut the rusted part and work with an iron plate, putty finish & paint, rather than just putty finish & paint. Rust and corrosion on the rear window panel This is a common event in Figaro. Watch out for Figaro, whose rear window panel looks like the image. When it was detached, it was rusted by 30 cm and was tattered and unreproducible. I knew in advance that it couldn’t be repaired, but I didn’t think it was 30 cm. The genuine product is made of iron and no parts are supplied. So I bought a window panel made of resin at the Figaro shop in England. I also bought a hood for replacement. There is also new rust and corrosion on the vehicle body side. There was a hole when I rolled up the rust. I will repair it here as well. The replacement and repair of the rear window and hood has been completed.
The natural enemy of cars, especially old cars, is “rust”, isn’t it? If you want to ride for decades to come, you have to protect the body from rust. I often see that the license plate bolts are replaced with stainless steel so that they do not rust, but it is half correct and half incorrect. Every bolt has a nut. The combination of stainless steel bolts and iron nuts causes dissimilar metal contact and attempts to promote the oxidation (rust) of the iron nuts. This is completely meaningless, so if you want to replace it with stainless steel, you have to use a bolt and nut set. For example, in the case of Nissan Figaro, the nut side (stay on the back) of the license plate is made of iron and the nut is welded and cannot be replaced, so it is better to make the bolt made of iron. Bare iron bolts will rust quickly, so use plated bolts. The introduction has become longer, but I will explain how to protect the body. Apply the dissimilar metal contact described earlier to mount the sacrificial electrode. Simply put, a metal that rusts more easily than iron is attached, and […]
