As always thanks for kind/encouraging words.
Yesterday was a big day for me on the project. I received the used windshield, along with window winder mechanism parts (door guts), front and rear windscreen trim, and rear bumper spears- too bad they are both for the drivers side. This is all stuff that I bought before I sealed the deal.
Thanks to Gordon Raymond pointing me in the right direction, I bought a 1300 Veloce oil pan complete with everything needed to put it on either the correct engine (00120) if one turns up, or the 1750 which I will probably end up using for a while. I still need to get a Euro 1750 timing cover and an intake manifold to do the conversion.
Scariest thing I've ever done to a car... I cut off the drivers side headlight fender corner and it is now on its way to Washington for Akitaman to fabricate some missing metal and reshape the headlight opening.
