If you're referring to the door handles, wipers, nozzles.....I saw that they're all missing, but those are all pieces which are mounted seperately, and obviously the car's not quite done yet. I'm asking about the welded in sheet-metal brackets that hold the fog-light covers in place and those would have to be cut out.

The reason I asked the question in the first place is that I'm planning to cut the bracket out of my alternate stock '70 bumper on the right side to allow more air to the oil-cooler and hoped for more details on the how, why....etc.

Rodi, great look. I'd love to see more photos. And lower that beast by 5cm! ;):)

Hi.
It's a 1970 2.2 T, first register in 01/01/1971
I'm restoring it $tep by $tep
Here is the before/after engine and trans. rebuild done by one very known house for old car restoring in Lisbon:

It got new exchange heater too, the old ones were completely done.
Now I'm going by myself doing little projects, like finding electrical gremlins, rear wiper didn't work, tacho rebuild, new door seals and bar seal, etc etc
All I know I learned here and in other specialty foruns. So thanks to you all.

I'll keep posting the updates.
Cheers
