Best way to tell is on the car I suppose. Can't wait

Fitted the heater in place today, as well as securing the switch panel. Not the best picture with the lighting and stuff, but hey :

 

 

Car needs a good clean inside still, but it's getting there slowly.

I found an ad on Gumtree here in South Africa. Paid the equivalent of £5 or so for them. The guy who had them used them in his Jag 3.8 S-type in the '70s.

Car is looking awesome mate! Those new wheels are georgous, look a lot better than the minilites ;). Are they 10x7's?

Thanks! A few people seem to prefer them over the Minilights  Nah, 6.5s. The ideal width for these arches. Any wider and I'd need wider ones.
