(UPDATED with comments below)
From the photos, this is what I see that is not correct. Anything I'm missing? Not correct / things to fix: - outside mirror - speaker boxes - after market front air dam - 80s radio - white valve covers - rust (?) spots on carpet - painted (?) headlight motors - 4-cyl center console - color change back to Irish Green - wheel center caps need to be anodized or something - incorrect jack - black plastic threshold plates and carpet cleat should be aluminum Not right but no reason to "correct" (IMO): - Euro lenses - Euro driving lights vs USA fog lights - 15x6 Fuchs (was originally steel) May or may not be correct: - horn button is not correct - center seat fabric should be smooth (Center cushion could be the Colgan aftermarket item, period correct) questions / not sure: - antenna may not be right... ? - repro rear trunk carpet (missing grommet). or might be orig. -Steve Attached image(s)
