After a gargantuan effort of trying various methods to clean the dirt embedded undercoating, finally got it 90% better. Purchased a clothes steamer, a variety of cleaners and and a sonic scrubber . Mucho work, a final coat of Griots rubber cleaner and their tire dressing, very pleasing end result. The Griots actually softened the undercoat abit. Excellent product, non greasy, non glossy, non sticky finish.
Opted for a set of Vredestein 195 65 sportrac 3's. One of the few performance tires available it seems. Can't wait to take it for a spin. I'll post some daylight shots later. |

Steve yes! It's the same car. I knew this car when I lived out Califorina in 1998. Joe Boucher owned it; retired judge and big into the concours and rally sceene in the Santa Barbara region. He was the 2nd owner. I came real close to buying it then, but it was just alittle out of my reach at the time. Came up on Ebay last summer so I grabbed it. Car was immaculate when Joe had it. Took quite an effort to get it back to where it was, but was worth it. Think I will have the pan steamed in the fall. Way too much scrubbing to get that grime out. Debating on Zone 1 next week. Most likely a no, due to the Long Island traffic. Doing any events with your 73 this year?
