This got me interested. I bought my old '72 back in '83 (I think) in KC,
Mo, when I lived in Kansas. After I graduated from College in 1985,
headed out to San Diego. On the way, I bought my brothers TR7 and left
him the B to sell in Denver. I wonder what happened to that 'B sometimes.
Any idea where yours came from? If it was mine, I'm sorry. :-) I was a
poor college kid at the time, and I did some DPOisms.
What color is it/was it? When I bought it, it was white. I "fixed" the
rust (bondo and some new panels), and painted it dark BRG (under the
hood and the trunk remained white, I'm sure).
I didn't do any clear sealant though. When I had the car, it didn't
leak. Water in, or oil out really either.
