Truly rust free is going to be hard to find, and it will probably have
a toasted interior if it's from the sunbaked no-salt states. I've
always been glad that Klaus is reclaimed salvage, and though the goal
for aesthetics is "improved stockish", it leaves me no guilt at all
doing stupid stuff under the hood. Everyone has a goal, perfection in
a thirty year old car is a lofty one. It'll take some doing. But
that's the hobby part of it. GL with the search. Cathy, MkI addict.
