SVX parts restoration
If you live in the rust belt you may find this useful. I saw it on the powerblock this weekend. I've been looking for the name and how to of the process for a few years now. If you love your old cars like I do, rust is your sworn enemy and if you don't have access to a wire wheel or sand blaster this may be for you. If not for the SVX then for those of us who also have a 24 yr. old rust bucket pos. http://www3.telus.net/public/aschoep...lyticrust.html

Actually its washing soda not baking.
Washing soda is sodium carbonate. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. It is also a skin and eye irritant. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate and is safe for human consumption. Washing soda can also be found in the pool department of Wal-Mart (or any pool supply outlet) under the name "pH Plus". 5 lbs. is $6-7.

Good find. Cheap, easy, convenient...
My only problem is that I think some of my parts don't really have any metal left under the rust ![]() ![]()

Stuff like this makes me feel fortunate to have a couple of rust-free cars old cars. I lost a Subaru to New England road salt and recall well that sinking feeling of poking at a paint bubble and leaving a jagged hole.
While changing the master window switch on my silver car, which came from Colorado (with brief stints in several of the lower 48, including Massachusetts), I was pleased to find zero rust inside the door. The teal's a life-long sunbelt car. Hopefully the previous owner didn't take her into the the Florida surf... dcb |

I was always curious about that - will driving my SVX on the beach lead to rust problems?

![]() I have wondered if those electronic devices which connect an electrode to either end of the car really work. No washing soda. ![]() |
