Do what you feel is right..I was advised not to redo my Mexico,but in my opinion it would deteriorate too quickly if I had tried to use it in its stored condition.
Only you know what its really like.Looks a great car.

A good clean and it's starting to look a tad better
Lots of polishing compound

You can still get the Magard throttle linkage these days. Can't remember where I've seen them for sale. DTW Engines is David "Oscar" Wild and he used to work for Brian Hart Engines.

Believe Sytec make a similar linkage these days (they advertise in Classic Ford Mag).
Dave Wild also build the engine for Vatanen's MCD car of 1982.

It came with the minilights and a set of steels
The steels are now refurbished and going back on for the summer
