Rust bucket

Asked by Michael

MY FRIEND has a 1980 Holden Gemini with a lot of rust. What would you do?

THE possibilities are endless. Burning it comes to mind. But seriously, I'd suggest you take it to a scrap-metal merchant. However, they probably wouldn't accept it. Perhaps, if there is anything of value still on it, you could remove it and try selling the rest as spare parts. If rust has extensively taken hold, the only thing to do is get rid of the car. Convince your friend to buy another.
