wow they must be the shiniest vents in the bloomin world Sven! the radiator intake can be reattached quite well with bifiburcated rivets, beats stuffing around with staples which are a royal pain. We'll need some advice on your polishing techniques!
Will post photos of the headlight buckets next week. I think i got the right colour now... Surfmist.... We will see!

Sven, velour is great stuff. Every bloody car has leather seats these days, so boring. If not velour then vinyl! I remember the utter luxury of velour seats as a kid, particularly when combined with the super comfy seats of a DS - Plush with a capital P.
cheers Tony
Got to the headlight buckets this weekend. I had primed and sanded them last weekend, so all i needed to do was paint them. The Anchorbond Surfmist worked really well, both in colour match and in gloss level. Put on two coats and then a couple of dust coats to take some of the satin gloss off. I think they loook great now.
The last job for today was to pull apart the cats eyes of the rear fenders. Amazing how crappy and brittle they had become. Almost disintegrated into a dozen shards after dropping out of the holder.

Interesting Chris...
Mine were bogged into the fender and I have been wondering how they were attached originally. Have to see whether I can buy the bracket... Worst case I build some myself, they don't look overly complex. . Or did you say you had spares that I could take off your hands (and return the welder as well... I should have completed all the welding now, not expecting to find more in the engine bay).
Sven
As always despite taking loads of photos, there is always one wire that I didnt take a shot of.... HELP please: where does this one go? It comes off fuse 4 and is called J13/14 on the diagram, but I can't work out where it is going? Anyone?
Sven
I'll have a look at mine in the morning but, given it's position and length my guess would be the heater/blower fan. . .
Cheers
