Blue bomber progression

Bought this beauty in KS for 100 bucks. Since then I have gotten it to run and then some. Show the love!
























Acid washed the wheels, washed the interior/exterior. Replaced L fender and hood. Waiting on priming the L/R doors and fender. Repalced the fuel filter, shifter assembly, exhaust, AFM, intake assembly. New battery. Drained the gas in tank, put in new. Protege seats, tach cluster. Idles at 750-800, runs great

Can you elaborate on the acid washing of the wheels.
Not a term I've heard in regards to wheels.

It's a high strength wire wheel cleaner we have at work. Basically it has a chemical reaction to any metal you put it on. It foams up nice and white, let it sit for a while and powerwash off. Repeat if neccisary. Great stuff, removes and dirty grime, rust, stains from oil......anything.
