Subject:      rusty engine compartment, no splash shields?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Hello, I'm extremely green regarding vanagons and I checked archive but
couldn't find answer to my question so here it is.  Do or did water-cooled
vanagons have any sort of engine compartment tin? I know that they don't need
the tin due to being watercooled but I looked at a vanagon today and the
engine comparment was extremely rusty the motor was just rusted.  It ran fine
but looked terrible.  I was thinking that if you put some tin back there to
be used as sort of a splash shied that it would reduce some of the rust.  By
the way the rest of the body was in great shape with on a few spots of
surface rust.  Marcus
