G'day all....
I have a full set of immaculate doors for my SL/R. They came off a granny-pack low k car and have never been dented, resprayed or rusted.
What, if anything, should be put INSIDE the doors, to prevent rust forming? I once saw someone use cavity wax. That's the kinda thing I am wondering.
Cheers.

I blow the door cavities out with compressed air & clean up any dust/dirt etc as best i can & spray cavity wax using either an aerosol can or 600ml tins on a body deadner gun with compressed air. Most new cars are treated as such, especially European cars. Also, most if not all insurance companies pay an allowance for use of cavity wax in smash repairs. Some people use fish oil but working in the auto industry i tend follow trade & manufacturers procedures. JMO

ranex or k+h rustbuster
to sort out any problems
and then wax the shit outta them
sounds like a nice score
put rags under the drain holes to stop any excess leaking out and avoid getting any on the window regs

Good point, i generaly apply the wax after the panel has been painted & before i fit the regulator, bailey channels, glass etc. I also apply it in sill panels, the lower tie bar on LH-UCs, windscreen plenum, behind the beaver panel etc, especially if afore mentioned areas have had repairs done.

i worked in the rustproofing industry for 12 odd months so it was mostly new cars i done

I have just pulled a decent skin off a stuffed frame.....and thats how I see them getting stuffed....scale sits in the gaps and stays wet....I would definately use phosforic acid and then blow them out with compressed air before using body deadner or cavity wax.

Don't use phosporic acid that way it will rust your doors out. if you cont believe me get a strip of bare metal and dip in phosphoric acid and leave it sit for a week or two without neutralsing it. It will rust at an accelerated rate. IMO Cavity wax.

has anyone got any suggestions on some sort of spray gun set up to spray it into hard to access areas such as the dash plenum.
i tired adapting a degreaser gun with a flexible end but didn't hav much success, it tending to more drip out rather then spray

I will try and take a picture of my rustproofing gun in the next couple of days. Basically a sprayputty gun (pressure feed not suction) with and adapter on the fluid cap to attach a hose of about 2m great for sills and hard to get at places.

You can buy cheap body deadner guns that will do the trick.

Haven't read otherwise. I use cavity wax or if I am too lazy to get the compressor set up lanolin spray.

Ive just treated the doors on my Daily driver ( 1982,TF Gemini) I used a KBS Paint sampler box ,its just like POR15 ,its messy but great stuff!,It has a: cleaner,Rust Converter ,then Black Polymer Paint that's tough as nails.
If you get the paint on you ,nothing known to man will remove it off your skin ,unless you get it off immediately ,so far ive done the two front doors ,a lower quarter panel and around the back window after taking the window out . Its time consuming to do but I reckon its worth it
