Every year I take the van to Krown rust prevention place to get the special anti-rust oil sprayed into every crevice under the van. Every 2 years I strip the interior bare and have the anti-rust oil spayed all through the interior. I also avoid driving in winter (but I do some winter camping). I use synthetic oil in the engine and tranny. I also keep ALL of the maintance up to date points, plugs, condenser, timing etc. Change the coolant every 2 years. etc. Good luck.

I also have drooling privilages; I bought my 91 syncro westy (200,000 kms) with 2 kms on a NEW engine and clutch and clutch plate for $10,000 CDN$ = US$6,666. Malcolm
