Title: Evaporust on a used rusty HVAC
Post by: 79mustangcobra on April 15, 2015, 10:59:25 AM
I have been wanting to purchase a spare 79 HVAC with air and no rear defrost.  I have been looking but have not found one until recently.

I did find one but the mechanisms were rusty.  I just wanted the face and I could have stored it this way, but in my mind storing a rusty part bugged me.

So I thought I would use Evaporust.

After

It is shiny because I sprayed it with WD-40 to protect from flash rust. I am letting it air out for the day and then in a zip-lock bag.
