the struts were from Honda Odyssey ,just luck they were perfect rating. I'd say the rebel hood will be a fair bit lighter than the matador

Did a wee fix on sloppy mirror.had a broken cast piece in behind mirror, it holds the tension and allows the mirror to move as well when adjusting, so managed to make one by miging a couple of bits of a nail into a cross.worked a treat!

Looking great, you should be proud of your work. Always liked the Matador coupe. Set up a few when working at an AMC dealership back then.

Finally got the car out of the shed.a few wee teething things to sort but almost there.Just my front windsheild to come and that is the major work done.
Noticed it has quite stiff suspension that smooths out a lot with speed.
