Cars rusted, earlier cars rusted even more. After salty winters and long wet periods, the "red plague" often takes hold. Then perhaps only a restoration will help to keep the car roadworthy.
An SWR television team accompanied the rust removal of a BMW E30 convertible as part of the "SWR Handwerkskunst" series. The two young restorers talk about their work and their fascination with old automotive technology.
And they use examples to show what it means to give old sheet metal a second life.
Worth seeing!
