Draining the VERT

Yep you guessed it. That 12 hour trip home backwards on the trailer with no top in the rain really did alot of good. It finally warmed up enough to remove the seats and interior carpet. I spooned out 2 5 gallon buckets of water out. I then removed the floor plugs to drain the rest.

The floor boards still look new even out on the edges. I have found no rust yet or evidence of a major crash. The car has been in the garage since sunday night when the 91 RS got evicted.

The car might not look all that great at THIRDGENFEST but I am confident I won't have to trailer it. Hey it's all about showing up with one saved isn't it!

sweet kevin. we'll have to make some beer runs that day too. can't run out like I did last year. I'll be trailering since I won't have time to finish tuning up my combo before then probably. Trying hard to get jay's white car running with the motor/trans/TPI to carb swap as well. glad to see you got a vert though. Nothing beats dropping the top.
