I changed the cardboard transmission and drive shaft tunnel covers to ABS covers when I had the engine and tranny out. 2. The radio antenna is new 3. The air duct hoses for the heating have all been changed out (the originals were cracking) 4. The windshield washer pump and cover are new 5. The scuttle vent in front of the windshield is new (an original Lucas replacement part) I also put window screening under it to keep leaves and bugs out) 6. The trunk liner panels were replaced When I bought this car my only intentions were to have a nice "driver car" but, that's not how it ended up. Some would classify this as a "frame on restoration". I would classify that I have OCD and having an "OK looking" car was'nt good enough. This car WILL make you smile and get lots of attention.
