Parts search update...

As I have been away for several weekends progress on the car has been fairly slow with just the front door windows removed however I have had success with my parts search, winning the following: a very good grill and other trim parts (above), a good condition vinyl dash, front and rear bumpers and an obscure ventilation label that was only fitted to late series 1 cars.

I have also now rec'd the heritage certificate and know that the car was manufactured on 19th April 1973 and desptached to Henlys London on 3rd May 1973. This confirmed that engine/chasis and body numbers are all original but as thought gearbox has been replaced with an earlier model 12 - 21969 vs 56267. This explains why the transmission dipstick fouls the location where the missing torque  converter cover should be..

old photos and dismantling

I like the one with Awelo ? is it ? in his 70s gear outside his front door. Glad you are making some progressand have found some good parts. Lots of rust to contend with but it must be quite satisfying if challenging. Looking forward to riding in it one day. Love Pete. Tell Jake I am drivning a Mazda Familiar now (my mums) It has quite a lot of power it worries me a bit that she is driving it at 83 years old ! Nice car
