hey there. i am really interested in what kinds of response you get, because i am in the same boat. I m considering buying a type three, and my dad said to watch out for rust on bargain-priced vehicles' undercarriage. He said that even if one were given to me, a car with any rust on the floorpan or on the heat pipes( which he calls "cancer"!) is so insidious that it isn't evenû& rying to fix it, it will just be impossible to stop! What do you think/know about this? He has had a lot of VW's, but i am stubborn and want to believe it isn't *that impossible to fix. :) The one i am considering is 400 dollars. I don't know much else about it, but if i find rust in those areas and not much else wrong with it, is it still a bargain? :) casey > -----Original Message----- > From: Sqbck71@aol.com [mailto:Sqbck71@aol.com] > Sent: Saturday, May 08, 1999 4:42 PM > To: type3@vwtype3.org > Subject: [T3] First Question(s)!!Rusty Heater Channels!! > > > Hi all, > OK first I must say that you volks have been a great help so far!!
