I'll leave it we're it is then. I'd be F ING furious if it rotted. Suppose I've done the engine mods at the wrong time of year. Gone bigger turbo with carb mods, engine is running again but can't test to see if the hard work has produced any torque gains. I'll have to think up another mod to do. Possibly ignition.
Cheers guys.
You can still do occasional short winter drives if you need to tune things up, but do it on a dry road and take the time to clean your car after it.

Don’t bother! Salt will rot your car or someone will drive into it, the amount of people I see daily using phones is unbelievable, chances of one of these idiots spotting your old bug indicating will be slim. Far too many distractions in a modern car for most people to concentrate.
It's crazy the number of arsholes I see using their phones or playing with the screens on their car while driving. But what do you want to do about it, watching car commercials lately all they can brag about is how you can connect your phone to it and have it on your dashboard screen. At some point there was even one of these ugly Citroens they do today with a camera on the rear view mirror on the windshield, that you could take pictures of what you were seeing through the windshield with as in first person view, and they were selling it as "your car taking selfies" or something stupid like that.
If it was me not only I'd make this illegal, but I would do something that forces your phone to turn off as soon as your car is on drive.
DaveN:
I do drive motor car occasionally in winter only in the dry though

Ok, so if like me and ya not driving ya bug's over the winter months, what winter jobs/tech upgrades have ya got going on.
I'm thinking either ignition do something with the interior. The front seats are the standard ones and look shabby. I might de glue the Inner arches/pedal area and clean it up. I don't have carpet I like the metal on show
Martin S.:
I had my wife’s 65 at Krown Rust Protection today to get it oil sprayed.
They drill a few holes to get at the inner panels. I hang around and show them where to spray, like inside the tunnel.
It’s proven, with our mess of winter lasting for so long, to be the only thing that works.
Messy and disgusting as it is, there’s something about driving a bug in the winter that’s super fun!
