Finally got her in my possession. First thing I did was dislodge the clean out plugs. I don't think they have been out in years. Took a 2x4 and a large ratchet strap. Got them all cleaned up and they are good now.

Man, those MY AR230s are amazing. Timeless design and best graphic they ever made! (IMO)

holy hell that scupper was a pain in the ass, but it's done. Got her cleaned up pretty good and the plugs rebuild. They drop right in now. No test drive since 5200 calls for a 24hr cure time. The black part buffed out real nice. 20180414_152119.jpg 20180414_152103.jpg
