Every year I take the van to Krown rust prevention place
to get the special anti-rust oil sprayed into every crevice
under the van.  Every 2 years I strip the interior bare and
have the anti-rust oil spayed all through the interior.  I
also avoid driving in winter (but I do some winter
camping).  I use synthetic oil in the engine and tranny.  I
also keep ALL of the maintance up to date points, plugs,
condenser, timing etc.  Change the coolant every 2
years. etc.   Good luck.

I also have drooling privilages; I bought my 91 syncro
westy (200,000 kms) with 2 kms on a NEW engine and
clutch and clutch plate for $10,000 CDN$  = US$6,666.
