Looks like the front panel was also replaced, this should have holes in the panel.
the later panels had not holes stamped. the early headlight buckets do not line up with the late panels...did they replace the buckets too?

Glenn, The later replacement fits all years. The later headlight buckets are shorter to allow the bumper shocks.

One other things I have found odd ( remember this is my first time completely disassembling a 6 ) is all of the additional sound deadening in it. Both inner rockers were coverd top and sides and then there were pieces on both wheel wells and two smaller squares on the front firewall. I also found two small dia holes in the pass front floor pan that had rubber plugs in them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Never seen that before on any 4 cylinder

also I thought the 47 stamp on the gas tank was cool. Another thing I've not seen before (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There is another stamp on top I forgot to get a pic of. Can't quite make out what it is. I'll get a pic tomorrow

I dig the gold. I have never seen that color on another car, and if this is going to be a high quality resto, I think that the value it will add would be big. Can somebody do a PhotoShop?!?!?

Very nice so far. Fortunately, when it comes to color, this is not going to proceed as a democracy.....gold is not in the future of this car. Sorry.

A little late, but don't ever use that seat belt receiver.
When the buckle is inserted it sticks straight up. When you attempt to sit you will either break the receiver or the buckle will go right where the sun don't shine. Ouch !
Gold is unusual and certainly original but I don't think I would go with it either. And I'm a big fan of original.

Yeah, I agree re the seat belt receiver; I tried it on another six I had and fortunately did not break or damage anything. As soon as I saw it stuck in the receiver I said, well that was poorly designed and never tired it again.

As for gold.....man I catch a lot of grief over my plan to change the original color but I just can't have a gold car - especially that gold. I still plan on going light ivory but irish green is a strong 2nd.

front valance and black rear wall are not correct, but it should give you a good idea of a gold metallic car

Thanks Scott for the support (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I don't think you understand, the community has voted and you will be painting your car gold.
Scotty only agrees with you because he has paint left over from my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

That looks nice! Interesting fog light covers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Cairo, as we learned today, democracy doesn't necessarily mean that the majority gets their way, and it certainly doesn't mean that the people paying for things get their way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

I am certain that it will look just as great as all of the other nicely restored light ivory cars we have all seen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I am just being a trouble-maker with an opinion. I am definitely a member of the "It's your car, do whatever you want" crowd, and I will never part ways.

Irish green is great as well. I remember a VW/Porsche or European Car article several years ago about an Irish green six that was restored from a basket case by some guy whose uncle was the original owner. Beautiful car. I am sure that T.C. has the article.
