I am in the process of preparing a '79 Saab to survive a Northeastern New York Winter. The car (which I bought last spring) has a moderate rust problem, which I judge to be controllable and ultimately correctable. My immediate problem is to get it through the coming winter, as the major body work won't be happening until next spring. I am looking for recommendations of things to do so that the body rot will not progress much further this winter. Use email -- I will summarize any useful remarks to the net. -- Rich Welty (I am both a part-time grad student at RPI and a full-time employee of a local CAE firm, and opinions expressed herein have nothing to do with anything at all) CSNet: weltyrp@rpi ArpaNet: weltyrp.rpi@csnet-relay UUCP: seismo!rpics!weltyrp

A friend of mine faced a similar problem when he was preparing a car to survive a Wisconsin winter. One nice fall day he did the first half of a wax job on it - really laid it on thick and rubbed it in good. He then let it dry - and polished it in the spring. He claims it worked. *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MAZDA *** -- Gary Benson * John Fluke Mfg.
