New old stock steel high tops from the other Adrian Miller

Replacement headlights, rad pipes and most service items from Fred

Coil, distributor cap, electronic ignition conversion from Accuspark

New Michelins from Back Circles

HPF alloys from eBay

HPF wheel nuts from helpful parts guy from the DSG


Looking forward to getting it back and showing it! I'm going to keep the original wheels in case I decide to swap back.

Looking good. :)

Did you bypass the resistance wire?

I printed that thread out and put it in the box with the parts I dropped off at the bodyshop/restorers. Most of the ignition stuff I bought was due to reading your advice in that thread :)
