Subject:How prevent cancer (rust) in Northlands?
Date:Sun, 4 Feb 1996 15:38:56 -0500

Dear Friends (especially those in the Northeast, Great Lakes, Midwest areas):

Still being *just* a Wannabus, I'm still having these questions pop into my
head...

Situation:

I'm interested in a syncro for a daily driver. I live in Cancer central and
I don't want my (future) treasured bus to disintegrate.

I'm betting that if I bring a bus up here from the Southwest, South or So
Cal, since it's never been exposed to salt, it would deteriorate rapidly in
areas where paint is chipped on the underside, etc.

What steps can I take to protect my investment? Undercoating? repainting
with chip-resistant paint? Weekly washes? Tons o' wax?

Anyone?

Jim.
(no longer wavering) Wannabus

I speak for myself and nobody else; they like it better that way.
