"I would think it will be back.   The main moderator was starting new topics with scans of old catalogues the other day.   Dosn't seem like the behavior of someone about to close a website.   1200.com has gone down before, so i doubt it has gone for good."

"I have no idea if this is right or wrong, but if it was mine i would be removing the surface rust before assembly.   Think id try to get it rust free with the least ammount of scratches as i could.   Not sure about what is the best method sorry."
