Finally, new skins and clean undercoating Options

[tod914]

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.

I bet I spent 25 hours on the phone with the owner from Washington. Not Dwayne the mechanic but his friend who owned the car. I think the owner had Dwayne sell it for him. He seemed like a real nice man. He commissioned me to find him an all original Bahia Red 73 2 liter. I found the one you now have near Philly and he flew me up there to look at it. To my eye I didn't think a nicer all original Bahia Red 73 2 liter could be found. It wasn't perfect, the price was too high, but it was a dam nice car and I told him that your not going to find a nicer 73 Bahia Red 2 liter. He paid the price and had the car shipped to Washington and when he saw it, he called me on the phone. told me it was a piece of shit and it was worthless to him and he never called or talked to me again. I mean he chewed my ass out. I was stunned. But Tod, I'm so glad you have the car now. In the previous owners defense, he didn't have the time or ability to do the things your doing to the car and he was expecting it to museum perfect even though I told him it wasn't perfect.

I have no concours plans with any of my cars in the foreseeable future.
