Cabin beading ends

Cracked cabin beading

No rust to speak of

Just lots of dirt

Pinpoint of rust

I’ve cleaned off the grime

Front fender bolts saved in a marked bag

Month and year it was produced

Original factory sticker still legible

Original tape protects the steering column from overspray

Not very rusty under there

Front fender removed

Ashtray 1

Cigarette lighter

Ashtray 2 – original sticker from NewLine Motors, Toronto

12554 km on the odometer – all the original keys

Cabin floor

Right door removed

Left door removed as well as weatherstripping

Bagged parts

Ladybugs in a turn signal

Left front van box bolt and front gas tank bolt

Right front van box bolted to the frame

Maybe I’ll mount fog lights in the old headlight holes – better lighting and less bodywork

Spare brake drums have been turned and are ready to be painted

Removed the worn spare tire – tube and rim

Wiper motor removed – weird wiring fix – original was mounted in front of the cigarette lighter

Homemade wiring fix for the broken/missing switch

All in a box, ready for overhaul/replacement

Drill out the nameplate attachments for removal

P501 badge

Vespacar badge – lots of dirt behind it
