...at this stage in the game but I found another "upgrade"
On the interweb the glove boxes look like this =>
(Picture found on the VP autoparts website)
They seem to be made from hardboard. Mine is the same shape but made out of metal.
A real high school welding project (!)
They've seam welded it so it is a bit bobbly on the inside - still - after a bit of paint it'll be going back in (someone loved the car enough before me to make it so it is staying put)
They put sound deadening all over it (of course) but it came off surprisingly easily with the multi-tool and scraper =>
Before I bought that multi-tool I thought it was just a cynical way to peddle yet more expensive accessories for power tools. It has, however, proved to be a valuable addition to the workshop (much to my surprise). The accessories are indeed very very expensive - but - I have found a place that sells some of the bits at a reasonable price so I can soften the blow.

In other news the quarter light hardware mounted on the door window insert was put in place with aluminium pop rivets
Does any one know if the correct solid / hollow rivets are made from steel or if they're also aluminium?
