Default Ashes to ashes, rust to rust (a lesson in chemistry -oxidation..)

we talk about rust often when looking for one of these cars. here we see an extreme rust bucket.. sure no sane man would buy a car in this shape, but this can teach us many things.

1st, it shows us specific areas to look for rust. 2nd, if you look closely you can see reminants of shoddy and unsecessful repair work. this can show you some things to look out for as far as repairs go on cars youre looking at (ie.. what not to buy) 3rd, you say your car is rust free? .. notice all the lil nooks and cranies in these pics where you wouldnt think to look for rust.. have you looked in these areas on your car? can you even get into these areas to check it out? somthing to think about!

so for your horror and amazement i present to you one rusty swb 912.
WARNING: do not look at this if you have a heart condition, are pregnant, have a weak stomach, or are subject to epileptic seisures.

Looks like an old Battleship brought up from the Bermuda Triangle!
