Scraping off old nasty window tint with a razor blade is not really one of my choice pastimes, but it had to be done. An hour or so later I had clean windows that were all the same color!



The interior is looking markedly better, but I would love to find a steering wheel adapter for something a little more racy (if you know what I mean, and I think you do...)



The car came without rubber pads on the padals, and no gas pedal at all. I found these on clearance at AutoZone, and normally I think they look cheesy, but they look alright in this car---it goes with the vintage Euro-racer look. AND, by an interesting glitch in the system, I got them for only 1 cent. (No joke!)



Amazing, the transformation some soap and water can bring about...





If you want a nice-looking older car, it is all about the details...I am sanding and painting this oil cap which happens to be one of the more prominent things under the hood.
