Do you just punch them into the hollow lug nut or if you hit hard enough they just fall to pieces? I have no interest in putting them back on.

Nice looking car overall, besides the cosmetics. Don't like the steering wheel, but that's about it.

Some curiosities I noticed. The vanity mirrors, never seen those. Then the dual rear fog lights. One is common, never seen two.

The dual rear fogs were only fitted on UK cars from what I understand. I too dlislike the steering wheel, I would like to find a stock burgandy wheel to match the interior.

UK for the twin rear high intensity fog lights.
Vanity Mirrors fitted to non sunroof cars through to 86.

Tackled a broken door handle hinge tonight. That is no fun at all! My fat hands don't like small spaces! One door down and one to go.

THat's a GOOD thing. Fereralisation just puts a bunch of glue-over crap onto the car, making no actual difference to the smog output, and makes the car less valuable IMHO.
