1st post....ever
Looking for advice.
Am seriously considering exterior restoration of '73 1.7.
Original owner of car in very, very good, original, original condition (no dups here!!). Paint needs refreshing. Am advised to acquire the following:
Need sources for exterior and interior rockers, weather stripping for front and rear trunks, top and seams. Also need exterior door handles, trunk lock, mirror (L&R), front and rear lenses and side markers.
Looking for best place to get these items, those that I've forgotten, and general knowledge about what I'm in for.
My source for restoration is a friend in a classic refinishing business for 30+ years. He has won many awards at national meets, most especially for hot rod creation, much like Boyd Carrington.
