• Yeti cool box is borderline golf club thread!

    Car looks great, enjoyed flicking through this.

    Do you keep it outside/drive it all year round and how safe is it keeping a 90s car outside?

    Yeah it's pretty lifestyle dickhead isn't it. We rarely holiday abroad and i wanted something nicer for our road trip than our old Argos bag, does do a good job tbf.

    Parked outside and driven all year round. When you safe do you mean exposure to the elements or likelihood of getting nicked? No idea on the latter, we live opposite a school so it's well covered by cameras, more common issues are kids thumping it with footballs or parents sitting on it. The weather has accelerated the deteriorating paint for sure but has (AFAIK) had little impact on rust as these are pretty thick gauge steel and were protected well out the factory. If i get it painted i'll start applying protective wax much more regularly. £15 cap up page adds a little weather protection from the current horizontal rain but other than a blocked sunroof drain that caused a leak and longer than a modern car demisting i wouldn't say water ingress is an issue. Cross Climate tyres were a pretty good investment, not had any issues in the wet. Battery does drain down in the cold when not being used regularly and will be something i need to address but i suspect the original alternator could do with a refurb.
