Not to mention that mine is a rust bucket too, with the underbody partially treated to contain it. Lastly, I prefer to do my own maintenance for my own personal satisfaction of saving money and getting the job done right....
The old irons I was mentioning were anything of that vintage, including some compact cars such as yours. I guess you already know about the amount of Volkswagens of the same period still roaming around in my country (Brazil) for instance. It's almost impossible for me to spend one day without seeing at least one Kombi for instance...
