Well my puny electric drill was just not doing the job so I got myself an angle grinder ($60 at Sears) and WOW is it quick. I put a wire cup in it and wailed on some rust. Yowser that thing is fast, I guess 10,000 rpm is a lot. There was some surface rust under my bus, so I ground it all off (my head was covered with a tasty mixture of old undercoating, paint, and rust) and put some "Extend" on it. Torsion bars, kingpins, everywhere. It's beautiful. I'll paint in 2 days, then undercoat. (Girlfriend came out and said "How's the Golenizing going?" (a vintagvw.list joke for those lenti only folks).). I'm now agonizing (or is that vanagonizing) about how to rustproof _inside_ my lower front nose panel, plus other places where the sheetmetal makes a "box." Using spray on rust sealer liberally, and one of those little red tubes you get when you buy WD-40 is all I can think of. Any ideas? I don't want to seal up my outside and have my poor bus disintegrate from the inside out. Mark '62 Kombi
