Definitely need speakers, vacuum hoses, and astro-ventilation ducts. The antenna cable is coiled up in the rear package tray and looks OK.
I think(?) I'm missing the window storage tray? From the photos can anyone tell? I'm unsure what it is supposed to look like. It kind of appears like there is a "tray" but the window looks to thick to fit in the gap so I'm kind of thinking it's got to do with the rear window defrost? Or is it the tray and there's a latch to drop it down? So much to learn. lol
Thanks
Allan

Thanks! Something I DON’T need to buy. This would be a lot easier if the car wasn’t an hour away. I’m just going off of photos I’ve taken.

It appears they tried to get a hook under the chin spoiler when they were trying to pull it out of the shed and cracked it. Randy is fixing that as well.
I've also attached a photo of the damage on the driver's rear quarter.

......... and being the decisive individual I am, now that probably 70% of the car is going to get painted anyway...............it's going back to Brands Hatch Green with no luggage rack. lol
I figure if/when I sell the car, if someone wants a luggage rack, it's easier to install than to delete.

Considering I’m going back to Brands Hatch Green, I need to ditch the long L-88 hood and go back to the stock hood and wiper system. These will help.

Thanks. Considering it's an original engine car, it makes sense to go back to original.
I'm starting to look for dash and gauge components. Could someone advise the differences between years so I can find the correct gauges, center console gauge bezel, wiper bezel etc?
I believe gauge face colors are different between years?
Thanks in advance.

The hood I bought is an Eckler's hood. Randy tried fitting it today, one side fits really nice, one side is out nearly an inch on contour. is this a known problem?
EDIT: The issue was with the top of the fender, not the hood. Repair is in process.

If the hood is OK, the fix is to separate the inner edge of the fender from the wheel-well support (under the drip rail), push it up and re-bond it. But this is a rather large gap... it will stress the the top surround

The other hood had so many cracks it would have fit any profile. lol
It's fixed now for the next owner (if anyone's interested).
The fender top had been worked sometime in the cars past and was too low. Randy is actually building up the fender to the right profile with glass.

Randy’s not wasting any time. I think he wants his shop space back. lol
