Machanla, living near the coast (Negombo side) and starting to see minor surface rust around the door bottoms, bulkhead, and rear crossmember on my 90.
With our salty air and humidity, what's the best local solution to stop this before it eats through the metal? Are you guys doing chassis hot-dip galvanizing during full rebuilds or using specific underbody wax/coatings? Recommendations for good shops around Colombo/Gampaha are welcome too!

Bro, if you are doing a body-off restoration, galvanizing the chassis and bulkhead is 100% worth the money. Did mine 3 years ago and not a single spot of rust since, even with frequent beach runs
