A place in the UK called Martrim, they said it was Ford roof vinyl
I wanted something that resembled the targa top finish and this was closest

Added the seat belts and interior seals and trim so the roof can be fitted and not clutter up the garage etc ...
Attached Image
Also fitted the headlights and wired up all the lights
The headlights aren’t functioning yet and whilst the Side lights are working fine the indicators aren’t flashing so there’s more to do there

Thanks Frank
The tool bag is great, her hobby is sewing and making aprons and bags for craft fairs so it has turned out really nicely.
The tools were my Dads, he never got to see this car so by using his old AA badge and the tools in the tool bag it keeps his memory going

I did some work getting the dash in shape, I cut down a seal for the screen to dashboard and used some remaining vinyl for the back of the dash
I tidied up the gauges and the surround and refitted it along with my repaired dash top
I made a plate up to fit the DIN slot as the radio I picked up needed something to mount to

I managed to lift the tank into the front without having to disconnect the fuel lines
It was hard work with half a tank of fuel
Attached Image
I put the air box together using some contact adhesive to keep the grill in place and then went for it
It took about 15 minutes of pushing and levering but went in pretty easy

It was harder to put the parts in than it was to get the air box in
