Joe,

Some day, my van may become rusty, no doubt it will. My comment is in
answer to the statement made that anyone claiming to have a Rust Free
anything is full of it. I don't live in a vacuum. I live in north
Alabama. Anyone on the list (and anyone else for that matter) is
welcome to go through my 90 van and see if they can find any rust. I
can't.

My 83 diesel westy has rust staining coming through a repaired area
between the rear wheel arch and the sliding door, down low on the car
and in a seam, but it's pretty obvious that's because of the quality
of the repair, and it's a small area. There's no floor or fender rust
anywhere on this 23 year old car, but I wouldn't claim that car to be
rust free. But my 90 is.

Like I say, anyone's welcome to look.

Jim
