Hi folks
does anyone have any instructions / pictures to cover the bonnet, trunk lid and engine cover refitting? My body work has just completed a full restoration and respray. I know refitting the springs and torsion bars can be tricky so I was hoping to get some instructions and pics to my body work guy so that we can get it right first time. Id hate to scratch the body at this stage :-) Many Thanks in advance Andrew |

[/quote] Good idea thanks for that. I have the PET part diagram but not the service manual, that would be very useful when reassembling. Any idea on where best to get one? Thanks Andrew |

Hi Andrew! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)
When I get round to doing mine…maybe next decade sometime, I'm planning on installing Hydraulic Shox…they're a pretty straight-forward replacement for the front bonnet and just need a bit of cutting-out for the rear. Just a thought..link below: Trunk Shox Cheers, O. |
