Just put some mags on the old bugger! Looking good! Runs like a charm really needs a exhaust thou and a rebuild kit for a side draft (hint) if anyone has one lying around!

Here is some current picts,

These are the original door panels, notice the Numbering on the base of each rear inner quarters
#159 and #165 in black lettering.



And here is one for russ


Drivers side door is marked Siber (silver), no idea why? perhaps orig stencil?


I started taking the primer off hoping to get a nice patina, but i should have stopped and here is what she looks like now.

I ended up having to use a little 10w30 to make it look rat roddy stye i guess.






here is a closer look on the front heater channels and how nice they are


cheers
