Thanks Stephan, Sue and Steph. I'm very happy with the front grill and Wood Wheel. :)

You know, the front and rear bumpers on the 78 and 79 have really grown on me. If they're not in excellent condition, they just look_crappy, but when cleaned up they look really good. There's a sort of tough stance they add to the car, by sticking out a little proud of each side.

That wheel is brilliant, Bob, and if I didn't already have the one I've got, I'd be wanting to fit the same. Well done,

Steph

Thank you Sue ... It's coming along. Cleaned and prepped the washer nozzles and hit them with some VHT. :)

Finally, got her back today! :) She stalled a few times going home. I'll have to check the fuel lines and filters. The oil will need to be changed asap. It's been in there for the 13 months its been in the shop. Here's a few pics. More to follow. :wink:

Looking good Bob. I also like the "Historic" part on your license plate. Good job. Did you reassemble at the body shop?
