Restoration (2) White 1972 1600 XL [25]

Finally, the car is 99% back together. Today, I redid the tappets as two were a bit loose and retightened all the exhaust manifold bolts. The bonnet also went back on. I then completed the inside and refitted the instrument panel surround. I reglued parts of it, cleaned off some of the glue & retouched some of the switches. It went back on OK & doesn’t look too bad apart from one edge. The parcel tray needed a little bit of repair & I won’t complete the final touches until I am sure all the dials & switches are working. The new headlights I ordered arrived today but I will put them in when I have time. I would really like to put the vacuum gauge on it to check the timing before I take it on the road. Maybe tomorrow it might be ready for a little test drive.
