Got the rear spacers swapped out today which allowed me to out the caps on the rear wheels.
Buttoned down the dash, visors in, rest of the headliner trim is in, and gauge bezel is mocked up....gotta figure out why my Factory Tach isn't working.
Also got wheel lip moldings on and pulled outside for a quick look in at it in the sunlight. I still have to wait for the shop to finish their final cut and buff on the paint, and touch up the alignment on the hood and doors.

Beautiful! I miss my little cordova brown SWB. Very nice work! Did you spray everything yourself?

Re: Emma-Jayne: My '79 SWB
 

Very clean. :thumbs:

Re: Emma-Jayne: My '79 SWB
 

very nice!! I like the front end:metal:. I may have missed it, are those side mirrors the LMC version or the United pacific version??

Re: Emma-Jayne: My '79 SWB
 

Thanks! I didn't spray body, no. The paint guy had a difficulty with the Cordova, even after the Dupont guy told him it was a hard color to spray. I've only been doing the normal part/frames cleaning and re-sprays for cleaning it up.

Thanks!

Thank you. The mirrors are United Pacific. I actually still have to get the wiring done for them. I am currently installing an ididit column with keyless ignition so it will be wired with that.
