Old enough to know better
It’s got issues, but we did VERY well. It was our Covid-moment.
Called it.

It’s amazing how many people think they know how TV works, but don’t know what a NDA is Hands were tied...Called it.
Lol. The wheels are my least favorite thing, but I’ll work on that when all the other things are fixed. Thought I was getting somewhere today with a modern lighter, buuuuuut that didn’t quite pan out. So many more things were improved on the car though than made the show, we couldn’t refuse it. Last thing we needed was to become classic-car custodians, but one thing led to the next and it seemed like the way to go.Oh I know all about NDAs and many other legal agreements.
Congrats in any case. We are happy to have you aboard. A few silver linings to Covid, we have had a few new owners who likely would never have gotten into this hobby otherwise.
Lovely car and I happen to love the orange carpet. The chrome bumpers are an interesting and unexpected touch. The wheels, well the wheels have got to go

I hope now people will understand the level of ’green’ they’re dealing with answering my questions

What, you don’t go to Brighton?The wheeler dealer car...great location envious of the Sun and Sea!
But you've got Quadrophenia...Nice at it can be Brighton isn’t quite the same as the Californian cost!
were the side - dent protector trim pieces always there, running thru all three panels? Mine only cover the doors.As long as we are showing photos of green 74s, here is mine:

If you think that you are a lousy photographer, well at least you didn't stick your shadow in the photo like me. This was taken on a mountain top overlooking the Pacific Ocean with the sun going down which is why my shadow is as long as the car.
Ah, ok. Who knew. thanksThe dealer put them on before I saw the car. I would have preferred it without but at least he had not installed a radio and trashed the dash.
Or just glue a coin on the rear side. That is what I did on holes from big bumpers, less possibilities for rust to grow from overheated areas.My ugly X has a double row, one above the indent, one below. They are effing ugly and to pull them means brazing lots of holes.
Solution to any problem, throwing money at it...Or just glue a coin on the rear side. That is what I did on holes from big bumpers, less possibilities for rust to grow from overheated areas.
When you have time, could you take two or three photos of where the seat belts are bolted to the B pillar, and the floor behind the seat? ThanksAnother new owner here.
Picked up this '78 during the summer. Last on the road in 2005. Previous owner says the engine last run 3 years ago but doesn't start now (suspecting fuel pump). Has rusty floors and a couple of other spots. Other than that my plan is to do a mechanical refurbishment and get driving.
A couple of photos of how I found it
