G’day fxxxrr,
I feel such a fool sometimes- and sometimes my wife points it out for me
Now I look back at the photos it’s clear as that it’s a bit of rubber or the like. Sigh.....
So, do you reckon the bonnet has been repainted at some time? The weathering looks like it might have been brushed? I know sometimes cars weather like that and they definitely haven’t been brushed so that’s inconclusive.....but is that maybe red paint on the decals? Dunno.
It sure is a remarkable coincidence that that is the same colour green that was on mine.
The steering cross shaft will come out without the need for surgery. The gear is retained with a key and grub screw. Once that shaft is out the steering column will drop through.
Way sexier with the new steering wheel!
Cheers,
