Time to wipe the ugly off this ride!
Bumpers, and front sheet metal removed. CAREFULLY removed all that 60 plus feet of body side moldings, tailgate trim and emblems. I do not have a spare of the tailgate "Concours" emblem, and the attaching barrel clips did not want to let go! I spent an hour finessing it off, thinking it would surely break!
I removed the door panels, necessary to remove the door handles and also to salvage the unique side molding clips. I tried to source all new clips but the pictured rectangular plastic clips were not to be found.
With the door panels off I cleaned and lubed window regulators and door latches etc.
As previously mentioned, the RF fender had been replaced with a used and painted white. Strangely, this fender must have came from a cheapo 300 series as it had no holes other than for antenna, not even an engine call-out.
Using trim from my stash and measurements from the other fender the appropriate hole were drilled.
Also, the fender paint had some peeling on the inner under hood jamb, so that was prepped and painted.
