Hey one of the headlight covers hasn't been cut and buffed yet! I'll need to go back and do that after a few months.

That is a great sequence of pictures.

Your car looks super nice....

Classic thread????

Nice. Hey, what year is your car? I only ask because I tried to put on those late rubber boots that I grabbed off a 75', but it wouldn't fit on my 70'?

Born 1973 reborn 2009 or maybe 2010 or uh TBD?

Awesome job Billy. Can't wait to see the finished car. Dig the white head lamp covers too.

Thanks Billy,
I was scratching my head a bit and then I found your thread. Huge help

My 73 2.0 L is also being restored. I removed many parts but the restoration shop removed the headlights. I put the headlight motors back in but I may be missing parts for the headlights themselves.

Do I have all the pieces (besides the white cover, which I have)?Click to view attachment

For the most part. How about the armature? 1st and 3rd pictures in Post #4. 1st picture in post #5. You'll also need backing plates and M6 Hex caps. Pictures 2 and 3 in post #3
