    Yes, the mildew is crazy. I was too busy freezing my bugles off to notice the smell, though.

    Both of mine had to be douched with a mix of white vinegar and water to get rid of that stuff.
    #820 sat for a year or so under a tarp, #683 was parked in a similar wet/damp location to where this one is at.
    So was this the stuff you used to clean the steering wheel and dash?

    Hey Pulsecode,
    If that is Felix's old car then I can add a little more history. It came from Indy before it ended up in Greenville, SC. It used to belong to Sharon that was a member on here. Can't remember here Z31P name. I believe he bought it from her about 2-3yrs ago. Was running good back then because he drove it back here from Indy. Just remember it was needing some interior TLC back then.

    Sharon bought an auto trans from me and was going to convert it because she couldn't drive a stick.

    Just got my account back activated woot woot. That car was awesome the ac and heat worked perfectly and it was a great driver even with the coils on it. I sold it to a local kid that absolutely beat it to hell but I'm confident you've got some good parts there. It was surprisingly rust free even though it was from up north. I couldn't resist selling it at the time because I had my 280Z and my 300zx and the kid was offering stupid money for it.

    I actually backed out of the deal since my son and I were splitting the cost just before Christmas 2014. He is into his first year of marriage and is learning quick, shall we say, that life is frought with unexpected expenses.

    Out of courtesy, I wanted to let any Z31P member potentailly interested in this car to be aware that it has not been purchased from me and may still be available. Thanks to all who helped to fill out the history of this car.
