[s-cars] Bodywork Needed

[Gísli Óttarsson]

On a related note:  One the few occasions when my '93 UrS4 has required
bodywork I have worried that aggressive sanding might eliminate the zinc
coating which I presume is found on my galvanized body.  Is this a
reasonable worry, or am I misunderstanding the how galvanization works?
