In my experience people prefer to do nothing about rust until it is too 
late. Everyone behaves like an ostrich towards it, and that's the WORST 
THING YOU CAN DO.

Rust is like cancer. If you ignore it, it does not go away. It kills what it 
is affecting.

Great idea!! (;-))

My Vair is in the USA and I can't fix the rust until it gets here (and I am 
not planning on importing it any time soon).

But there's no pointing using Vairs as the example anyway. I have selected 
the examples as having universal applications (think about it - it wouldn't 
be worth printing a separate booklet for every kind of car, and it would be 
pointless anyway because most of them are so similarly constructed, and the 
places where the rust occurs are so universal).

Rust is rust - it doesn't mater what kind of car it is on., What matters is 
the techniques used for fixing it! There is absolutely nothing that sets 
Vair rust apart from (e.g.) Fiat rust except that it is (allegedly!) less 
severe.

And in fact the windshield surround of a Lancia Beta, which is what I use as 
one of the examples in the booklet, is almost identical to the windshield 
surround of a late-model Corvair. But it's not the fact that it is similar 
to a Vair windshield surround that matters - it's the fact that I show how 
to get the rust off it!

And as badly designed, drained and protected against rust.

No, it really doesn't make the slightest difference what kind of car I use 
as examples (the pictures are all close-ups anyway, so it wowuld be hard to 
identify what it was if I didn't tell you). What matters is learning how to 
fix rust and stop it EVER coming back. And you could use an old trashcan to 
do that.

Come to think of it, I suppose most people think that's exactly what old 
Lancias are...
