What year/type car do you have? Just curious.
1.) Yes I'm going to fix the body work eventually, where I live it's not worth it of course, unless this was just a project car and I'd get another car for daily driving, which is not the case. But I'm hopefully going to be moving to a much warmer climate by next year where rust is not a problem, and I hate winter anyway.
2.) I heard that linseed oil is pretty good, but hard to find where I live, especially in a small rural town.
3.) It's a 1991 Peugeot 309, 1.4 liter carbueratted engine, most basic trim model but I prefer it like that, less electronic crap to go wrong. It was kept by one single owner since then and he was already retired when he bought it in '91, so it was used very little and taken care of, only has 89 000 km on it, interior is basically new, seats aren't torn, steering wheel and pedals aren't worn, and it even smells like a new car. Only issues were a non-opening door, it was stalling when cold even at full choke, the alternator squeaks and need replacing and the blinkers just glow, they don't blink. I fixed the 2 first issues, and the other 2 aren't too important right now. Also there are some dents in the car from parking lot collisions, at least they were repainted in time but with a non-matching color, some minor rust dots and some paint cracking, and the paint is faded on the entire car due to sitting in a yard for the last 2 years since the owner could not renew his license.

Those are some pictures from the sale listing, which do make it look a bit nicer than it actually is, I haven't taken any yet since the weather is so crap you can't see anything on the camera.
