Did you all know that Galvanized paint was invented back in 1830's, and galvanized metal has been discovered on some armor used in India in the 1700's! So I am assuming it was cost prohibited in the 1970's? Or was the steel used on the 914's galvanized but maybe the technique was not perfected. American cars were built with a predetermined life (planned obsolescence) so the consumer would buy new every several years. Porsche too? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Or maybe they were designed to be bio-degradable, a green product... |

I've had galv poisoning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) It's not fun and it accumulative. Once you get it you get easier the next time. Either don't weld it or only welding in a very well vented area with saftey equipment.
