Nice Work JP, it's really looking like a car that could be driven... on that note, spring comes earlier in your part of Ontario than it does for me...

 

[JPSmit]

Thanks all - yes, Jer, you are one of not too many places where spring comes later - actually is gorgeous today! Dave, still some work to do, like steering wheel and getting it running again. Most of my parts left (1 1/2 boxes) are either hood or interior related - but, as mentioned, it's not running, I got an SU and am trying to get it attached. - as of last night, it is on the car.

The next challenge is that the car needs to be registered in Canada and certified. this should only be a logistic challenge but there will be a bit of time before stuff arrives in the mail.

Part of the problem is that I'm into busy season Easter/ up north (Timmins/ Cochrane/ New Liskeard) for a week next Wed. so, even though my heart is with the car, I may not have the time I need.

That being said, my goal is to drive it to my car club on the third Wednesday of May.

Carpeting looks particularly fine. What is the source for that carpeting?

Is that color number 815 red from Stock Interiors?

Color: 615-Red Nylon Loop

I went with the loop because it is more retro than the cut

J-P,

Miss Triss is looking good. Glad our tips on refitting doors helped. The DS took me 2 days, the PS took all of 10 minutes. It's all in the technique that is learned along the way. Now get that engine fired up and running. Miss Triss wants some exercise.
