Hi, Just bought a rust free 340 and I'm looking for any advice on the best methods for protecting it against future rust. Thanks.. :340:

Having just twigged what car you've bought... I'd be in two minds, but think I'd stick to whats in the Green Book (can't find the link atm, Mac posted it up a while back)

Dinatrol in each of the places shown in the green books. It'll likely take a compressor to do it properly though, but would be worth it in the end.
