Default Serious Creep!

When the wife and I bought our project C3, I said to myself and her that I would fix critical things and just make it presentable.

I just can't.

A couple of Before pics of the things I didn't even want to remove let alone recondition and make pretty.

Help!



Soaking in EvapoRust right now. Seriously good stuff!

Kinda cool that there isn't a whole lot of steel like this on this car to do...the chassis itself was just about done when we bought it, so HUGE labor saver there.

The parts are rustier than they look in the picks..mild to midling.
