I've just taken the rotten exhaust of my 1987 mk1b.





There is a large metal









Also, what sort of rustproofer would people recommend?

There are rust removers, rust preventers, paints and waxes.







Thanks

Don't expect to refit them unless you drill out the old bolts and retap all the threads!

50% of mine sheared, they are pigs to drill and tap as well as the swarf falls onto you![]()

I did my heat shield with POR15, the boot floor on mine was OK but I wire brushed it and used Hammerite on it, all that work and you can't even see the thing once the exhaust is back on![]()

Think i might just leave it in place and hope that the boot floor is solid!
