The two body mounting parts mentioned have been returned with the body undrilled. If no interior driving mirror has been supplied it will be necessary to fit one. 10) The offside front door interior lock handle was loose.

Two front wings. Two rear wings. Offside and nearside steps. Instrument board plus bolts for attaching wings, and a large number of small attachment features.
