<VV> a tale of rust and the poor corvair owner...

[N. Joseph Potts]

Even if you have to wait a hundred years (hope not that long) for your ship
to come in, you can spend ALL that time (at least sort of) profitably
finding and killing rust on your Corvair. Merely scraping/scouring rust and
then stabilizing the remaining metal with just about ANYTHING (Extend,
Rustoleum, POR-15) will not only preserve your Corvair for the day when you
can afford to restore it, but also takes care of something you have to do
ANYWAY.
     Scrape, scour, sand, polish, and be patient. And DON'T stop - that's
how your car got rusty in the first place. The important restoration work
you can do with just about NO money is practically infinite. Some might see
that as a curse, but it can be a blessing, too.

just wonder if anyone had any experience or advice for someone who just
doesn't have it in his budget to restore his corvair at this time

im thinking of putting her up on a lift, do some wire brushing on rust and
then coating the undercarriage  with POR-15.

she has some problem areas, the floor doesn't seem to bad...yet

the shop that will help me with this has a product they can put in areas
behind the rocker panels that does a good job of soaking in to seams.

Thanks!
