Poor pic sorry, but we finally got the lower windscreen chrome trim fitted! Needed new clips from the US, but it looks much better now.
We've done a bunch of other little jobs such as:
- fit rear window winder
- use chrome polish to remove rust stains on front bumper (this stuff works wonders!)
- fixed the passenger side air vent so it now longer springs open when you put your foot on the gas!
- cleaned and polished up bits of trim inside and out.
I finally now have the speed nuts to mount the Pontiac badge in the front grill and to replace the 350 hood badges with 400 ones.
The bad news is that the car failed the MOT on two things: front headlight switch (full/dipped) - replaced by NAPS in Northampton, and front ball joints. Apparently the wheels were in danger of falling off when they jacked the car up! Replacements were shipped in, only to find when the guys took the front suspension apart that the control arms were worn. New control arms list at £300+ VAT each, so we are going to try oversize balljoints instead (apparently this works OK with worn controls arms!). Just waiting on more parts from the USA and then she will have an MOT.
We picked up a correct original cigarette lighter at a show the other week, so we now just need the housing and other bits.
Other jobs to do include fitting a phenolic spacer on the carb, fitting the rear shock brace and replacing the fire extinguisher that expired in 2008...
