    I would also point out the Exhaust shield :) me and a friend are working on Reproductions ones if you can't get your hands on OEM Euro versions :)

    So jelly! looks so good and clean, lovely driveway and neighborhood too by the looks if it.

    Yup. I have the exhaust shield and the Ansa. The current exhaust shroud fits the exhaust tips that sit horizontally. The euro shield fit the Ansa Sport exhaust where the tips point up at an angle.
    When the Ansa gets fitted, I will install the correct shroud (already fitted and ready to install).

    i am with you 1000%!
    i would never redo an original interior in good preserved conditions...it is to me a big mistake if it can be saved

    your interior looks very nice from pics and i agree a good cleane and conditioning will make it councors conditions :)

    As far as I remember, we copied the locations in the same areas as the original bumper. I will double check.
    You look like you have good fitment of the euro bumper. Well DONE!!

    Thanks a lot, I will look forward to a picture if you have?

    Oh on the bumper it was a lot of fitment necessary.
    I still work on smooth gaps.

    Update coming. Just waiting for the restorer to have another opening for me in early January.

    So, next bit of work will be:
    -the engine is getting pulled out,
    - discard the exhaust manifolds and install quick silver headers
    - Ansa exhaust installed,
    - engine compartment will be detailed and sprayed
    - might as well replace the clutch too.
    -re-tune the Webbers
    Stay tuned....

    UPDATE...
    We have finally got the car back to the restorer. The last thing to do is to pull the motor and go through it, new clutch, water pump, plugs, etc... and install the new Ansa sport exhaust.

    Pulling the motor...webers and manifold off....
