Rust will make it lighter which = more speed :D

I know somebody who many years ago bought a brand new TR8......it nearly broke him at the time...

Anyway, 10 years ago he still had it in the garage, it had been off the road a long time (10 years!) and looked worse for wear (because it was!).....I asked him 'are you ever going to do anything with that?', he said 'No, every time I think about doing something stupid, I come in here and look at that and say to myself, dont be such a prick AGAIN!'

And thats all I have to say about that (in a forest gump type of way)

Ive had loads of TR7s, 1 TR7 sprint and 2 Tr7 V8s and I bet they dont rust as bad as 1970s Alfas :o
