Two heaters came with the car. An Airide and a Smith's. The Smith's heater is incomplete, but the Air Ride is all there. Just need to repair the broken knob.
Was just throwing ideas around for number plates one afternoon, couldn't believe these plates were available. Snapped them up pretty quickly.

This was my last project. Sold it since!

The plan is to build it as close to original as I can. Will be a shame to mess with this car anyother way. It still has all the original sheet metal. Only rust repairs done to here were the sub frame section and a couple of spots on the front doors.
Here is the vin numbers. Can any one post a photo of the original colour.?
body EK225-4292S-S
Trim 681-966
Paint 585-0245
Insert PO.47.A
Top 685-0246

Cheers Dek

Finished restoring the guage cluster in between panel repairs and paint stripping. A new coat of paint and internal clean up looks the treat.
