My dad calls me and lets me know about an estate sale around the corner from his house. Guy has a old vw motor in his basement. Figured I'd go check it out... If it was complete I would try and get it... Under the house with my phone flash as my lighting, dummy... Got a dozen flashlights I don't grab 1. 1970 single port. Start looking for the fan shroud cause it is all there. Weird... 6 volt generator and stand... Locked up motor. Moisture locked up a ring. There is my bargain point... Start digging some more. Peeking in the far corner I see some red oxide primer on some metal...go over and find a decklid. No pictures of the recovery. Started stripping it today...

Acetone is awesome. That graffiti remover stuff is a good follow up.
