Carter AVS 4611s too far gone ?

man... that is rough!

once aluminum/pot metal gets corroded like that it's hard to bring it back. all the steel work will need to be replated as well.

if you don't care about the finished appearance, i'd say maybe it's something to pursue but that would hinge strongly on what the inside looked like. that is, if you can even get it open with out destroying the whole thing.

if it's for a numbers or show car, i'd be on the hunt for a better piece to start with.
