Now that will restore beautifully! What a bargain for 50 dollars.

These cars require very little effort (in comparison to some others) to make them look sensational. A bit of polishing compound and some elbow grease along with simplegreen and that will be "Golden".

Really good score there mate - expecially with all those cool old school electronics.

Cheers

No worries, Ron, glad you got it!

With all your projects (and assuming you work on them in the order of when you got them), I'll give it at least 5 years before expecting this one getting cleaned up. :lol:

I doubt it and won't hold my breath. There's probably 50 other cars waiting in line. :lol:

But I'm happy to be proven wrong, given that a lot in his pile are real treasures.
