Понеже не ми е напълно ясно мнението порди превода от англииски на български ,ми се иска да разбера какви са били последствията за колата след като само две зими е карана в Бъгария.

The only safe option in cold climates is a nice garage

The 40 should arrive sometime in Feb-Mar, if it leaves here in Dec. It will sit in a container in Durban for 30+ days if current conditions prevail. Potentially, it could be delayed until April or later. I plan to drive the Mule from the port of Baltimore to wherever we end up renting a house, clean her up and park her until the winter weather clears and the salt is washed away. I'll have the mudders taken off and the snow & ice tires mounted just before leaving Lilongwe.
The bulk of the rust she had when I tore her down resulted from 2 Bulgarian winters, where they use a combination of mag chloride, calcium chloride, and plain old sodium chloride, plus sand, cinder, and dirt. We saw a couple of the alu body newer Land Rovers there that were showing significant corrosion from that mess. After all this work, I want to keep her as rust-free as possible.
