I will have a look to see if I have any of the A pillar trim and dash trim. I'll let you know whether I have them in case your trimmer still hasn't located them.

Look forward to seeing more progress.

Thought I had better update the site on what's happening with my car.

Although it's still in primer I've been busy concentrating on mechanical issues.

All fluids gave been chsnged and every nut/bolt on the underside checked and tightened.

A new Bosch S4 battery has been fitted , with a fast wind starter next on the list.

As the doors have had new bottoms and skins the chrome door trim was temporarly fitted to

check all holes were in the correct place .

The engine was fired up to check everything works OK, although I'm unhappy with how close the plug caps are
To the new stainless headers. I have boot protectors but will need to change the right angle caps to straight ones.

Glad to see this project moving along. It will keep me motivated to do something about mine.
