Well spent some time with a car that I got and it's been fun. It's a car that has spent all or at least most of it's life in the desert.
72 - 1.7 tailshift I drove the car and was impressed on how well the tail shift worked. Deciede to start surveying the Hell hole and see exactly what I have. There was a lot of crap there so I was hoping for the best, usually it's not this good. I started by just vacuuming out the corners then with some Maguires #6 just cleaning the surface. I was amazed how good the condition was. I can tell from the trunks that it's the original factory paint. It's god a few nicks and scratches, but the patina and color are good, and in good condition. I did find something interesting. The corners of where the seals come together actually have some butyl like the windshield. I believe this may have been a factory thing as there would be no need to add it, and it's all 4 corners. Here she is - Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

It does have some weirdness at the jack points. Looks like they broke off the tube and decided to cut the plate off. Not quite sure, WTF !! They tried to bondo it over to look smooth. I started removing and will post some more pics. I think they damaged one and decided to remove both? There's not much rust on either side. That seemed to be a common practice when the jack tube was messed up or rusted out... I've seem many with the jack plate gone and a flat piece of stock welded over and with fiberglass patches. I love it ....you've started down the slippery slope....start by cleaning one spot and end up removing the engine to clean more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
