I hear ya Sean and I was trying not to "go after" the build (I was trying to be nice) but yes, most of what you have listed are items I would address if I were to want to purchase and return the vehicle to a more authentic state (though I'm not sure you are right about the finish of the inner guards as they were only ever satin black at brightest but could be rubbed/polished up a bit)... I guess I was playing devil's advocate when I asked about the Kingswood identifiers. Reading between the lines as in why would you go to the trouble of removing the lugs behind the doors (the ones that are only fitted to each and every Kingswood body - Sandman or not) and change or mod the windscreen trims to suit the missing trim pieces?

Those GTS flutes don't look right to me either but that may be the way they've been blacked-out. But hey, still a really nice build all things considered though I will say that I am not going to restore mine to the point of a "big nut" master cylinder etc as I'm not chasing concourse or survivour trophies, just a neat ute which has been looked after and I enjoy driving. layrubber.gif
