Hello Steve:

Sorry to hear about the rust-- you are making me afraid to look-- if yours is rusty, mine is doubtlessly worse...

Do you have much experience with POR-15? I've heard plenty of good things, but never have tried it... I know some aircooled VW acquaintances have advocated coating the VW muffler systems inside and out with POR-20 (their heat-proof paint) and they swear it makes them last nearly forever!

Both of my '92s are at the point of needing rust intervention in spots-- at local prices it simply doesn't pay to paint anymore these days. Cheap resprays are not an effective way to stop rust, and doing it right at $50/hr with $500 in paint and supplies adds up to the cost of another car pretty quickly! I have been using cheap knock-off "rust converter", but it is a stopgap measure to be sure!

I'd love to hear your opinions of POR-15...

Cheers!
