| the rubber mat in RHD form , i am not aware of anyone producing it currently. WW has, but it is in LHD format. |
The Bulkhead mat is available in several colours from Newton Commercial in the UK, I bought a complete original material style RHD set for a reasonable price.
The Floor mat has long since been unavailable here new but good originals turn up occasionally |
thanks, will try to look.
when i tried removing the existing front rubber mat, as expected they just break. |

Great find! A couple of suggestions:
1) Keep those faded taillight lenses! Find colored bulbs so they shine the correct colors, but the original faded lens look is priceless.
2) Get rid of that hokey H4 headlight bulb under the trunk lid. Those bulbs get very hot, and can explode if you touch them with oily fingers and then turn them on. Explosions over the gas tank are not a good idea. |

thanks!! i was just thinking of putting on the NOS Hella tail light lenses...LOL.
yea will get rid of the bulb and tidy up the wiring. i suspect the bulb was fitted as a voltage drop, something that was done very commonly here those days. even my 66 had it.
hence the wiper motor could be a replacement 6V, as the 12V single speed was hard to get. will check it out when i get some time.
now needing some help to repair or buy new striker plates for the car. both striker plates rubber missing.

managed to get some seat covers made , will be keeping the original door panels.
seat covers cant be saved though.
seat covers are what i can get locally, colour is close to Indian Red. patterns and heated pleats are based on the seats in my car now.
