philo's matra no1 "its rustier than it looks"
its a sad sight, but predictable, these were mass produced, cheap cars, never intended to last very long, cheaply made from poor quality materials, its done well to last that long
you wont see modern cars like that in the future. galvanizing almost across the board means nothing rusts anymore, even lancias alfas and fiats, cars are now scrapped when their upkeep becomes too expensive, or when their emissions deem them obsolete
i believe this will be one of the single biggest cause of cars being scrapped in the near future, and a complete oxymoron, as making a new car is the most polluting part of its life, thus replacing a working car with a new one is more polluting than continuing to run the existing one.
