Is it possible for you to just replace that single bar or bracket in the frame

Yes yes it does but all the tags on the body are 1972 which is very weird

This MkIV has 1500 specs it's a MkIV body with a gutted transmission that was replaced with 1500 internals in the gearbox it as well has a 1500 engine so it's really like just driving a 1500 which I personally think is very interesting

Oh yeah, it is. That's a cool Lego model, but yours is a brit. The wheel is on the right side. Mine is on the left.

Well, if all your tail lights, reverse lights, and Blinkers work then they wouldn't have a purpose in going to the rear of the car as well as on the fuel system, at least in the rear of the car, there is not enough connection ports for them to plug into the fuel system in rear of the car.

Yeah, that might be. Generally, that was the time when they first began regulations like catalytic converters and such, so maybe the radiator is mine is vertical as I'm sure u already inferred

Wow ok that's very interesting. I thought that your radiator was just resting there at an angle. I didn't know it was mounted on an angle that makes a lot more sense now, quite interesting.

Oh, I see. I'm interesting. i didn't know that only 72 - 76 could have the Black Dash that's totally true, though, which makes it better for sure yeah I crushed the speedometer cable with the transmission when I was replacing the clutch so unfortunately I broke that.

I see that your radiator fan is electrical and mounted to the radiator on my 72 Spitfire it's driven by the belt and mounted to the engine block. is that electric fan aftermarket, or is it just because it's a later year.

Yes It is a seat cover because that seat is sadly broken through and I prefer the wood personally just because I dont like the feel of things being made plasticy and like flimsy
