So here is the update on he EURO85 save! Remember the interior on this car was excellent (only missing some trim bits here and there and two fairly small tears in the drivers seat bolster) and while the paint was not great I thought it might be salvageable. The mechanicals are pretty well in order. A bit low compression on 2 cylinders explains it missing HP, but nothing I can't live with...it is not a track car or a drag car afterall.
So, I have had the paint DEEP CLEANED (ie polished to the max) and a new stereo put in, I have spent about 4 hours per wheel well cleaning and now have the new wheels and tires I have been SO EXCITED about! The last couple of things are to put a new exhaust on (read louder and lighter) and get the sunroof panel evened up a bit (low on the rear passenger side corner) and then see if there is an easy and not to expensive fix for a surge under 75% to 95% throttle.
