I'm starting to restore a '76 T3 I've had since '81. It has been sitting for 18 years without having been started. It is low mileage.
First question: The bores are chrome. I haven't seen them yet, but guess that with that much time sitting, the chrome is pitted. I'm told that even if they look ok, there will be small pits that will be a problem if I try to use them. What should I do with them? Can the chrome be repaired? Should I replace them? If so, are replacements chrome, iron, or what. I.e., what's the best route with the cylinders.
Thanks,
