Ok, guys...I've started on my tear down and rebuild on my 73 Polaris Bavaria and I figure if I start a thread, it might keep me a little more accountable. The last car I fully stripped down was a 69 1600 and that took me a year and 8 months to do...but that was a full blast the bare body, performance engine resto. This will be close, but no body blasting...I hope. My plan is to tear down the engine, strip out the engine bay, and start from there...it's filthy, but solid, so it's just a ton of cleaning in prep for paint. I'll start at the beginning...
Here's a shot when I went to look at it. Seems nice enough...
Then there's the engine bay...yikes..but I've seen worse.
For a car that's my age, the interior is pretty nice..a new headliner, driver seat cover, and a few vinyl repairs, and she'll be nice driver quality.
