This is also great to hear. No problems with rust at all from rain/snow etc?

Apologies for asking so many questions!

They are mostly plastic! the only panels on mine that are metal are the rear quarters and there's no rust there at all, the enemy is salt when the gritters are out but you can buy an under chassis washer from karcher for about £50 that cleans the salt off and seals it for about 12 weeks after if your gonna use it all year round, fits on any karcher washer which reminds me I'm gonna order one right now In preparation and do both of mine, my Camaro is 20 years old and typhoon is 25 and there's less rust underneath than on a a few 3 year old modern cars

I live in a terraced house with no rear access or off-street parking, so my Camaro sits out in the street. As twisted said, there is a lot of plastic body panels. I try not to drive it too much in the wet, so as not to get crap thrown up at the underside, but I'm not too precious about it. If I'm out and it starts raining, no big deal. If it rains on it while parked, it saves me washing it. :lol:
In the three years since I bought it, the road gritters haven't seen much action in North London, but if the weather is cold enough for the salt spreaders, my Camaro stays parked. As stated, road salt is your biggest enemy.

Thanks a lot for the response bnc!!

I was concerned about leaving it out but thats reassured me. I think i'll end up mainly using mine as a summer car and leaving it parked for the exact same reason!
