What do you guys think about removing tar on highly original cars?
I don't meant to hijack the thread, but I pulled a piece of tar in a spot likely to breed rust and it was clean. Would you sacrifice originality to prevent future rust? |

Would you sacrifice originality to prevent future rust? What does your hell hole and longs look like? Is the firewall insulation pad in the engine bay intact? Does the rear window show any signs of being resealed? Is it still tight? I'd inspect all potential areas of rust inside and out before making the decision to tear up the tar. Use your best judgement at that point. |

Use your best judgement at that point. Hell hole and longs are great. Firewall insulation pad is intact. No signs of rust on either side of the firewall. Even with a scope I snaked behind the pad. My guess is that, if there's rust under the tar, it's probably minimal. For now, I'm erring on the keep it original side, but I'm open to other opinions... Thanks! |
