 "typical" only for the South of the USA and Middle America! It's burned by the sun. In the North and in Europe this kind of rust is very rare. We are used to have a plenty of rust at the bottom half of the cars, due the humidity and the salt in the winter.A tip to find many sun-burned VW's is "Continental Specialities": Link to "maps.google.com"  It's known by many VW-freaks from Europe since a long time. In July 1993 I made on my autodriveaway-tour an extra trip to Alamogordo for visiting the place. Fortunately the (sometimes a bit strange) owner liked me, so I could take many photos. Other guys were send away by him. .gif ":)") No kidding, the owner -he deals with that stuff as a business- loughed about me, when I told him about the situation with body-parts for old VW's, for example the extreme expensive and rare front fenders for the 1970+ "longnose" Typ3. He hasn't believed that problems. "The technic counts, the rest doesn't matter" he said. One photgraphed part was a real "Holy Grail", as I've heard later on from the freaks: a boxy US- or Mexican made Hardtop for the 181 "Thing" The best joke came from the yard-owner (he mant this seriously!). I've said "Fortunately you don't have rust-problems here, except the sun-burns" - he really answered "Oh, no, that's not true! It's very humid over here! We have 13 inches of rain every year!" 13 Inches per year!!! ![[Image: laughing2.gif]](http://emoty.blox.pl/resource/laughing2.gif "http://emoty.blox.pl/resource/laughing2.gif") -- Last edit: 2010-07-20 14:04:53 |

@ingo: What I have said about the rust spot is typical in the rust belt They are worst than the sun baked rust, salt eats away the bare metal that is chipped by the rock/salt during the salting the road in winter. Those people who drives so closly to the salt spreader trucks deserved them a special treatment.... |
