Little engine cleanup. WD-40 does wonders

Painted the wipers. Even the little things can make a big difference.

Wow, great find! My first car back in 1990! haha Had the color red though!

I know its the last thing you want to hear, but this is a rare bird! Almost pays to keep it with the stock motor now. But that was a great car!

IF you think of it, could you snap a pic of the cluster? Haven't seen one of those in many A moons...

Nice ride, I had one a few years ago, but it lived a rough life in the rust best, and the car completely rusted out. Still have the engine trans though, which might find it's way into my 83 1300FE.

Took these ugly things off.



And bought these.


Upper back seat is toast. Also gives you a look at what the OG seats look like.
