Does this Harwood quote apply to my car?
quote: " A layer of surface scale will not typically get worse without constant exposure to the elements and will often protect the metal underneath under mild conditions. Often better to leave it alone ..."
I am told by the mechanic (not a body man) that
-the underside is a mess,
-the rear suspension needs replacing ,that
-the brake lines are rusted front to back w/bad booster and master cylinder
and that he can't do anything with it.
The car is very clean, under 40k miles, good under the hood
and I' m not ready to give up on it.
Should I go first to a body shop?
Would paying for a couple hours of de-rusting be a good idea?
Should they leave a layer of surface scale? (I am in a mild climate)
Thanks for any informed advice
