New to the Forum

[Ghostryder]

Just a quickie to say that I new to the Forum and have a 1983 Eluder, which I purchased new that same year. I'm thinking about restoring it. Up to about five years ago it had always been garage kept, but then I had to put it out in the elements. I will be needing advice from time to time. Thanks for a great Forum. M.

Hey guys thanks for the kind welcome. The Mate is in Austin, Texas and I live in "The Big Easy". About a year ago I removed the engine cover and brought it back with me. I recently ordered some Island Girl products to see if I can restore the luster of the gelcoat. I will try and get some pics posted. Thanks. M
