    That's a Euro Yard Machine...been trying to find some Alpina wheels for it.

    Got lucky and was able to remove the dashboard roundel without damage. Some vinyl treatment will make it look even better.

    Actually there's no grease--that's cosmoline. I'm going to see if straight Simple Green will remove it when I finish detailing the engine bay.

    Interesting note on the vinyl seats--when I pulled out the rear seat this tag was underneath and states that the seats were switched from cloth to vinyl in 9/93, with the car's same vin. Where would this tag have come from?

    I know--at some point, someone went a little roundel crazy. I'm going to take some fishing line and try and remove the one on the dash and see what it looks like underneath. Hoping that maybe it's just adhesive tape instead of glue. Pisses me off because the dash is otherwise pristine.
