freebeard: you have more VW experience than I. What rusts on the body that isnt replaceable except for the door hinge mounts? I know you can get a whole pan in a kit.

Pretty sure an engine reman kit is more than $200 anymore, but maybe thats rings and seals only, bearings are good for at least 150 k miles

With the solex, best I ever got was 27 mpg in the 72, never cared about mileage in the other stuff
