New and Old Bits #23
Latest acquisitions. A pair of NOS interior light / grab handles which are very tasty indeed – I’ve never seen these come up NOS before. Many thanks to http://www.ar10537.com/. Also collected a good used distributor cover, these are usually tossed away but are a neat under-bonnet detail when they are present.

The weather was near perfect, with dust-settling rain in prior days and a nice cool breeze and warm sun. I expected the day to be...

Here’s some photos of the handiwork of the trimmer – the headlining fitted, and some of the vinyl edge strips and covers replaced. Next steps will be the suspension, floor deadening, wiring loom (on it’s way back from Lionel Velez), and brake lines. No...
