er34gtt2000jp Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share #25 Posted May 12, 2006 Thanks for all the replies! I got the hatch open tonight by removing the hatch panel and pressing the latch down. I then pulled the lock out so I can take it and get a key made for it and the ignition. Under the deck lid I found nice paint, no rust decent aftermarket carpet (72/73 style) and complete luggage straps. The spare tire well is fresh and shiny and I even got the spare tire hold down and a decent cover board. I am stoked! The seat belts are complete and correct and just need to be cleaned up it looks like and the console is not broken from the looks. Now if I could only find a complete Series I dash. I also got the gauges working tonight (missing fuse). I don't think the clock works though (go figure right!). Thinking of pulling the brakes apart this weekend to see what is the matter there so I can try to get it on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackboxxx Posted May 12, 2006 Share #26 Posted May 12, 2006 Now if I could only find a complete Series I dash.just wondering, but what is or how do you tell a series I dash from a series IIDash? I always thought the series I had the blank plug where the lighter goes in the series II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er34gtt2000jp Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share #27 Posted May 12, 2006 just wondering, but what is or how do you tell a series I dash from a series IIDash? I always thought the series I had the blank plug where the lighter goes in the series II?I should have been more specific, my car has the later Series 1 dash with the indentation for the hazard switch label and the blank spot for the fog lamp switch.I believe it should have the dash without the label indentation but with the blank spot, as it is an early 70' model. Anyone can step in and correct me if I am wrong, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26th-Z Posted May 12, 2006 Share #29 Posted May 12, 2006 Eric,The dash is cracked - just send it out and have it recovered without the indent. http://www.dashboardrestorations.com.au/index.htm I think your gear shift boot is the correct one with the rubber ring instead of the leather lace. Your chromed center vent looks good and so does the map light.Nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
