Gavclassic Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Thought i'd rescue this one, its only had 2 owners both in the same family, 74 model, 4 speed, big block factory 1400 motor and the usual grandpa touch ups. I'll post more pics after i've stripped and cleaned it. If anyone has bits for one of these i,m interested : rear bumper, interior rear view mirror, seats in white, also some Sigma steel wheels with factory center cap Edited March 29, 2009 by Gavclassic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grifty Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 how the hell did you get the front seats soooo clean, what did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavclassic Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 how the hell did you get the front seats soooo clean, what did you use? A very good degreaser, scrubbing brush and a pressure cleaner. Actually thats how most of the car was done, degreaser, polish, window cleaner and silicone spray for the tyres and mud flaps was all i used. Here's the engine bay pics. Was pretty clean to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
