Engine compartment and wheel well cleaning8f50b0125923246a84ccc8a25f89856b.jpg

What it would look like to get a flat in 1970. I’m using simple green to take off the layers of grime. I used a plastic scraper on the thick stuff on the struts. It takes the paint off. I started using a plastic brush, it works but the thick stuff is a problem, any ideas on a better way to remove the thick grime?

    I worked on the engine compartment yesterday. It’s cleaning up nice.

    Like new tools. Lug wrench and jack handle were still in the plastic. The plastic was opened but still intact

    The steering wheel was probably wrapped when the car was new. I’d like to unwrap it to see the condition of the wood, but it’s such a snug fit.

    Day one. It’s not my car yet. About another hour and it will be on my trailer on the way home. The front left fender was repaired years ago. As I understand it the owner didn’t want to leave the car again to get it repaired.
