Hey, folks!
Got an '88 Cabriolet few weeks ago which requires a lot of work... I guess it will keep me busy this winter (as if school and work wasn't enough for me).
The car was running bad so after changing spark plugs I decided to clean the throttle body...
before:
after:
the hex bolts were really seized and I had to destroy 2 of them in order to get the TB out...
... clean TB but now the car doesn't start at all a lot more work to do.

Welcome to the TRF.
I've been trying to find Never Seez products in Canada, no luck so far.
