Re: [T3] Notchback Worth Buying?

[Greg Merritt <gregm@vwtype3.org>]

	Rust is a bad thing.  Really, really bad.

	Consider the cost in dollars and time for the rust repair,
especially if you're going to have a shop do it.  Then add that to the
prices you're talking about for the purchase of the car itself, including
the engine rebuild.  What are you up to -- $4k? $6k?  Then consider what
kind of condition Type III you could get for that kind of money -- a
really, really nice car that would be ready to go.  (If you live someplace
rusty, factor in the travel/shipping costs of shopping for a rust-free car
compared to the repair.)

	I'm not trying to say that a rusty Type III shouldn't be saved,
but it's always more work than it looks like at first glance, and take
lots of effort.
