Welcome and thanks for toning down the post from Ratsun! This group is a bit more conservative :-)
You'll find all kinds of support here - the car and previous owner are well known.
"When all else fails, force prevails!" Ummm, we're gonna need a bigger hammer here.

Who you calling conservative?
LOL
Welcome Skib. I cringed at seeing the pic of you writing on the trunk lid. But I guess you will be painting.

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

I don't press very hard. I was too lazy to walk over to my red Toyota in the background and use that hood.

I seen over on Ratsun that you are looking for a drivers side radio cover and console plate. PM your address and I will send you that whole radio console with the parts you need. It has a Pioneer AM/FM cassette in it, but may be able to clean it up and make the cover work.
