Interesting.... my aussie delivered november '73 rx2 sedan doesn't have the little 'pull on / push off' words on the heater controls. And I am pretty sure our coupes and sedans didn't get a panel between the shifter console and the dash - just this annoying little shelf that runs from door to door. We also have 'Capella RE' badging on the glovebox.... probably because this model was never officially called an RX2 here, but rather a 'Capella RE'.

Looks nice though.

I should have taken the rubber off. I did not have the repalcement rubber for it. The car will get sprayred again. It does have a couple of runs here and there. Orange peel also. I got what I paid for. The paint job did not come out the way I would've liked it too. My priority was to get the car road worthy.

Very nicely done. I have one recommendation- loose that nasty sideview mirror. Try to find a stock one or even an old BMW mirror looks good too. Great job.

Looks great. What radiator is that? I may need to upgrade mine here pretty soon. Any luck on the alternator wiring issue?
