Greetings again,

As I get closer to getting the car on the road, I find more things wrong.

All lights not working and the cover panel to the light switch has screws missing....... someone has already been at it.
I read that early cars have a wiring / switch problem with wires overheating. Anyone come across this and maybe fixed it ?

Also, just realised that the rear view mirror is missing. Anyone got a spare one for sale ?

Anyone messed with castor and camber ( front and back ) and discovered any fancy settings ??

My car has 2 stereo power amplifiers in the boot - one on either side, about 30mm thick by 6" square. Are these factory or has someone done a good job of making them look original ?

All info appreciated, thanks,
Hugo.

There is a panel that mounts just above the ruber gromet with 3x plastic screw and also on top of the black iner arch.
Then there is 3x steal wing nuts and a little silver thumb screw which will undo but does not come out...

Hi Hugo,

Get yourself a Viper Service Manual. There's been quite a few on eBay USA like this one:

They are a must for DIY - lots of detail and well drawn. They will save you the investment outlay very quickly.
