1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod

Well. OK so first, barring a miracle I’m resigned to taking the white car on holiday. On the battery side of things I think it’s been probably failing for a while - I’ve been reconditioning it a lot using the reconditioner - which now I think about it has shown it to be in bad condition when just le...

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
