Ventured north to Peterborough from the Eastbourne Riviera last week to pick up some parts for my '72 build. Really pleased with what I came home with and at a good price too. Fairly smooth journey despite the multiple roadworks and reminded me of the days when I worked for a short time at Perkins Engines.
I bought two doors in excellent condition - this will shorten my restoration by about 3 months, based on the condition of one of my old doors. I had bought a (very good) door last year but the opportunity to get a matching pair - these have a substantial side impact bar which the '72 model does't have - was too good to miss.
Also a couple of interior pieces......
..... a refurbished radiator, which I'm really pleased with.
Not shown are a set of horn components and a parking brake cable.
