-Front seats (Found)
-Decklid (Found)
-Engine compartment section (Found)
-Front screen (Found)
-Rear screen(Found)
-Driver door handl(Found)
-Driver door glass (Right side) (Found)
I will update all progress as I go along.
Enjoy
Roscoe

I got used rear glass with rubber & "C" channel molding 56-66 R950 (rubber is usable but not perfect)
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......

Congrats looks like a good find.
At least you can see the condition. That is way better than a 5L overhaul.
Enjoy the build hey
