Galvanising is where the metal is zinc coated to prevent rust, I deliver stuff to a local galvanising place for Progress rail. Was going to get price to get few parts done on my rebuild .

According to the 1990 3 series brochure..........Cloggy Saint wrote:none, nothing, never.
'The bodyshell of the 3 series is zinc-plated at all vital points. Further stages in the multi-step rustproofing process are the cathodic dip bath and the sealing of all joints and seams"

I don't care what the brochure said in 1990, in 2012 they're all rusting like tinfoil lobster pots.
