Re: Followup - '70 Fastback staying with FI


Cheaper and much better for your car.  Everywhere I have a fender bolted to
my Square, the welting has trapped the salt and it has rusted out.  Even
with extensive oiling when I did drive it in the winter some salt is still
doing its dirty work 12 years later.  The worst part is the salt dust that
gets blown up into the heater channels, once its in there it will be there
forever, until they rust out.  This is a big problem when driving at highway
speeds on a salted road.  Even seen a beach car?  the entire intake system
for the engine rusts out!

Nasty stuff!
