Well worth the extra 4K. So you found it in Sweden?

I see it has the red piping on the interior panels. That is one awesome interior.

What's the rest of the fender tag?

Cool project. I would love to get a project that haven't been screwed with before

Nice project. Pretty much complete and I like the floors.

looks like the spare fender is from a FY1 V5X car also & it looks familiar

the drawing/picture on Legendary's site id from the trim catalog - ask them for a sample, I think they have the correct material

Great. I will ask them. Thanks!

Yes, it comes from the Tennessee area, arrived in Sweden early 2020. I will ask more about it's origin when I pick it up, I will also get all the paperwork then.
Here is the tag.

I need a complete grille if anyone has one for sale and can ship to Los Angeles.

Picked up the Barracuda yesterday, the first cruise thru Stockholm.

Is the a stock mirror for a Gran Coupé?

And is the a good way to remove the grey primer from the original paint?
I tried paint thinner, acetone, some acid for boats, brake cleaner.
Acetone works best, with a lot of rubbing, but some yellow paint comes off also.
I have no idea why they put spots of primer all over the car, no damage under the spots I removed with acetone.

That's the basic standard mirror that all E Bodies received when no optional mirrors were ordered I believe.

Did you try lacquer thinner to remove the primer?
Tery

Lacquer thinner next, then try xylend/xylol.

Both of those will remove yellow paint also so you have to be careful not to rub down too far.

soundcontrol · March 22, 2020, 09:49:37 AM

Yep, tried Lacquer thinner, it's known as cellulose thinner in Sweden, acetone worked better.
Xylend/xylol, never heard of that, will try to find it. Thanks!

xylene is the main ingredient in goof off. Goof off is cut with alcohol.

One of my specialities! Goofing off.
