No, and they didn’t have rotten shock towers either.
I wish I had some pics of the Celi with the old motor. Previous owner must have oil sprayed the car monthly.
Sure, it kept it from rotting out, but everything was covered in an inch thick coat of grime. Then I popped the original motor and gave a nice shiny coat of coolant to everything. Danner refuses to even touch the car. I had it up on Jover’s wrecker and spent $30 in change pressure washing the underside and it’s still filthy! I’ve chipped probably 60lbs of goo off and only recently discovered the engine bay was in fact white from the factory, not black.
Must be nice to work on something and not come out looking like a Mammy singer from the '30s.
