I know Teeners rust. Is this the norm for all Porsche's or just the Teener?
Was very little primer or paint used or not used in the production of the Teener's under carriage? I have seen some rust pictures of Teeners in this forum and I am amazed how much rust they had before they were restored. I know the Hell Hole rusted because the old batteries would over flow with acid because of rain on top of the battery. I know there was a recall and a plastic cover was added. Inquiring minds want to know! |

I think it is really a situation of when they were made. Virtually every car of that generation had rust problems. Chevy Vegas rusted before they left the Factory, BMW 2002 were notarious rusters, my Dad's Torino wagon was a Rust Bucket.
Was it the quality of metal used, lack of Zinc or other rust coatings, Acid-Rain, lack of quality control, owner abuse? - probably all of the above |
