For a '64 the instrument panel & the speaker grill panels should be black. The radio panel, console centre top & sides should be leather, same colour as other interior trim.
that's my case , I'm happy :-)

Re: Hood adjusting

It's because it wasn't aligned at all that I was able to negotiate the price down. I'll look for the right words. Thanks for the links :-)

Hood adjusting

I'm speaking to the big names in hood tuning. I am attaching some photos of the right part of my hood that I am considering adjusting correctly but I don't know how to do it. I add that it is very hard to lock. How and where to start? Thanks for your expertise https://i.postimg.cc/rshSJP0g/IMG-20231...

Re: reverse light switch replacement

There are so many repairs in an E that begin with "remove the front seats". As a tip to make the console much easier to remove, slacken and disconnect the handbrake cable at the rear near the IRS so the handbrake lever can be positioned to near vertical.
