Dinitrol is rust protection. Our very own petefarrell360's posted quite a bit on that subject ...
I recently used several cans of Terason cavity protection spray on my 360. It comes with a tube which, after you've fitted it into the spray nozzle, you just wiggle into the runoff holes of the sills as far as it will go, and then start spraying, pulling the tube out slowly. This way you've covered the insides of the sills with the stuff.
The inner wings also have bungs fitted, which can be reached inside the engine compartment. You could also take off the door cards, and give the insides of the doors a good going over, and check the boot lid as well.
It's well worth doing a bit of rust prevention, bodywork is the most expensive stuff to have to fix on a car, so it's good to make sure that's taken care of. Mk1s are known to rust badly, much more than the later models.
Once again, I just have to congratulate you on that car!
I think I wrote this once before as a reply to one of radiodanno's posts, the '79 is such a good year for Mk1's. You've got the retro-style exterior of the very early 343's (and the psychadelic paint jobs), but a Volvo-style dash & seats rather than Daf ones (but that's just a matter of personal taste I guess). Also, you got the manual option, up to Autumn '78 the cars were all varios ...
