10 years in a dry garage. As I remove stuff to refurb I find the brake lines from midway down the car are just lines of rust, obviously need replaced however the car body is very clean. Don’t really know why if it involves the brake system it’s really bad and all other parts are fine.

50 pence went to the Boy scout Henry paid to clean them up, and to think it used to be called "Bob a Job" week :D

Well, I spent £1 but only used half the bag of Soda Crystals.

This is roughly after 24 hours, you can see the water is pretty grotty but you can also see that the rust has migrated from the caliper to the metal bars around the container
