In SA if a vehicle has bad rusting or rots we then advertise them for sale as being "fully airconditioned" which unfortunately isnt an optional extra! :lol:

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

On my first car, which was a Mk11 Cortina, you could see plenty of daylight through the holes in the floor. It used to be fun watching the road go by. I've forgotten what we used to try and patch up the small holes, I think it may have been called plastic padding and some sort of metal gauze :lol:

No A/C, at all? You gotta be kidding me!

In some parts of the U.S., when a car is advertised as "rust-free," it can mean that the seller isn't charging extra for the rust! :lol:
