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) |

Cool! I'm glad that this worked out. I wonder if Don would still have the car if I hadn't asked.
