My grandmother bought a 68 xr7 in early 1969 and just gave it to me knowing how much Ive always adored it! More than willing to do research but I do have a couple items that I feel I need to know sooner than later
1 Since Ive moved the car to my home in Arizona and having experienced what our sun is capable of when it comes to dashboards etc this cougar having no dash or vinyl roof cracks/holes... What is commonly used to clean/ protect these items (car will be garaged)
2 I noticed the body is straight with small damage on one front corner (the piece is cast but im sure repairable) The question though is on the front lower corners of d/s and p/s doors there is rust starting in the exact same spot (may be common) whats showing and bubbling the paint is a dime in size... How urgent is it that it be repaired and stopped from rusting (inherited the car but not a car resto budget) again Im in Arizona and it really is dry here most of the year
Also heres the ride
