Dave,

Well, we're due for some surface rust repair pretty soon. We did one
"go-around" and touched up small rust spots a few years ago, also.

Matt,

I know that no one will believe it, but it's a stick shift and we're
still running with the original clutch. I bought an after market
clutch about five years ago on eBay figuring we'd need it, but it's
still sitting in the box in the garage waiting.
