I'd like to clean, de-rust and paint all parts of the headlight door mechanism as part of the full restoration that I'm doing.
Although the car isn't a numbers-matching example, it seems a shame to lose what original features like this remain, under a coat of paint....
My budget certainly doesn't run to tracking down perfect NOS items to replace perfectly serviceable parts, but I'd like to do a restoration that is thorough and yet as sympathetic to the remaining originality as possible.
Thanks for any suggestions
