Thanks for the info.. Here are some pictures of the issues I face. In this area the plastic is cracked and if flexed chunks of caulky plastic come out.  This is the top ridge that then is in front of the sail near the back window. As can be seen, caulky and missing bits. Here are scuff...

Just looking to get stuck into the back trim parts on the Mach1 Sportsroof. I have them out.  Unfortunately, they are quite chalky and in places they are chipped away and about 1/2 the depth of the plastic is missing due to age and damage. It looks like someone before me has had a go at...

Geoff, Thanks for the info. At some point the car went to Texas after 1982. I assume the California DMV will only be able to trace California based owners.. I will keep doing an internet search to see what I can find.

Thanks for the info.. I wondered what the police reference was. Am doing a search to see if I can find the original owner..

Managed to get some more cool documentation for my car today. It has been in the mail for some weeks / months. Original registration info along with the original owner card.

Geoff, Yep I left the incandescent globes in place for the trans shifter, and back lights for the heater, headlight switch and wiper switch. Also of note, the LED's need to go in the correct orientation. So make sure you test them once installed before reassembly to ensure they are in the right...

Check the dash lights them selves. Of the 14 lights in my standard dash, none worked. Only the alternator one worked and thats in a different type of socket. All the globes were ok but there was corrosion on the contacts on the black twist plugs AND on the contacts on the globes also. I replaced...

How about this. The reverse scoop was added for race homologation. Was not functional on the road cars as it did not feed directly into the air filter but there was a vary large hole in the bonnet under it..

Thanks for the info.. I checked with my engineer and he was happy to leave the front belts where they were and was not concerned about the access issue. I have found a solution for the back where I can put an eyelet in the sail panel, and then just clip the rear belts into it when needed. When...

Thanks for the info. I assume this is for the front seat and not the back? Do you have any completed job pictures? For my fronts, I just used the original bolt holes and a XA/XB Falcon set up with a 250mm drop link.

It seems that my plan to put an inertia reel belt in with the reel on the floor in the original location will be problematic as the belt manufacturers dont have a current approved design. In talking to the manufacturer, they do have an option for a fixed belt where the shoulder belt can be...

Thanks David...

David, Thanks for the update. Here are the pictures of the front seat belt install with the drop link as you described. Plus the stalks. Here is the picture of the rear section. Note the red circle where the bolt can go.  There is no room for an inertia real up in that space. I plan to...

Digging up a old thread. David, did you have to do any repair work to the panels before painting? Mine are brittle with scratches and paint chipping off? Looking for any threads on how to repair the original ones.  I have a fold down rear seat car, so need to repair the rear ones as they are...

Nice install. Im currently looking at adding 3 point to my fold down rear seat sports roof. I also want to use the inertia reel, but plan on putting it in the same place as the original and bolting the top anchor point to the inside of the rear quarter. There is a panel and access in there to do...

Yep has the California emissions on it from factory to probably why it is there.. My cruise control is my right boot. lol

My 7/72 seems to have the speed sensor on the speedo cable from factory. I assume this is on the later ones.?

OK so I went with the small grommet in the foot well and the large ones in the trunk. The carpet is now reinstalled. The next job is to clean up the trunk floor as it has a heap of surface rust. I have replaced the other rubber grommets around the car also.

The Scott Drake one is slightly different to the factory one. The factory one has 4 screws that screw into the front fender from under the chrome cover. The Scott drake one has a screw clamp under the rectangle base that holds the base to the fender from inside the fender.  The Scott drake one...

Cool.. All good. I cleaned my nozzels by unscrewing them from the plastic mount and cleaned them with a pin etc. Then reinstalled and adjusted.
