Re: My inner battles with rust & paint... (long wind)
Rust babble:
I can't help but look on in horror at all the SVX rust. I left Pennsylvania for the West in '90 looking for the land of rust-free cars, especially a '68 Firebird. I had a VW with over a gallon of Bondo on it. It's been sitting since '94, now stripped of parts and hardly any new rust on it. Had it stayed in Pennsylvania, the Bondo would be all that'd be left of it. Bought my SVX this summer. It's from Idaho. ZERO rust. I still have nightmares about the rust belt, though. I remember it being really hard to keep rust from coming back even after a good repair job. If the paint job price goes too high, consider picking up a rust-free body out West since these cars are getting cheap. If you can haul a car, you can haul a load of antiques to the West, sell those to pay for the trip, then load up your rust free SVX. (Just in case you were hard up for an adventure.) |

Re: My inner battles with rust & paint... (long wind)
I agree with this guy ^^^^ maybe an out west car might be the way to go.
On a side note: I really wish I would have seen this guys SVX while I was in Cody WY this summer. Nice car dude!

Don't look for anything rust free in Utah!

Re: My inner battles with rust & paint... (long wind)
I bought my S8 from a dealer in Salt Lake City, and it is the cleanest car I've ever owned. I know it's an aluminum car, but all of the bolt heads are shiny and new. My mechanic loves working on it!
It's all relative.

do you remember the paint code of your green 95? I'm painting my teal svx year-end. I'm still debating which color to go.

The curb weight of the S8 is 4000lbs. The paint code of my svx was 434.
