Hi Beatle, thanks for the encouragement!

What about that stuff, "Waxoyl" or something. I always read about it on English sites. Anybody tried it for internal cavities? How do you spray it. Will it stay in place? How long does it last?

Is Rust Mort acid? I don't care if I can paint over it. I would only use it for internal areas. Will it stay in place? How long does it last?

As long as I have the Alfetta experts attention, what about this: this car is a '78 and it seems to have a very unusual vent set up. All my other sedans have four fresh air outlets, two on each side. But this car has the top outlets blocked off from the fresh air cowl. I think they are supposed to be additional A/C vents, but they don't flow at all. I am going to return them to fresh air duty if possible.

Hey Rick, I changed my mind. She is now Cecilia. Trixie was a bit much. Glad to hear you're making progress. I have a line on a new old stock heater box for Cecilia with fan and heater valve!

Ferrari is down. Needs a temp sensor or something. Nothing major, but she just won't run right. Barely made it home the other night.

I have become quite fond of Cecilia's interior. I am going to get a just dash refurbish job on the brown dashboard, and then install a complete brown leather interior, (two front seats, the rear seat and four door panels out of one of my parts cars), after having it restored with new leather. Not soon, but eventually. Of course, before any of that, she is going twinspark. I got some caster bushings, but haven't put them in yet. It's pretty easy. You ever find the pink?

Kinda like upkeep on the human body!
