Hi Blake I will keep an eye out for you. Im in Queensland so probably not much help! I will give you a heads up though in case you are unaware. Take care if you are working on the head lining inside the car on Australian made cars as although I have not confirmed it as yet, it looks to be insulated with asbestos. Other areas to take care, if the car is fitted with a plastic interior heater rather than the metal smiths type. The plastic looks to contain asbestos so don't cut or sand it. Also the bonnet liner may contain asbestos. Left un-disturbed and un-damaged the risk is quite low. I will confirm this when I get some time with a propper asbestos test but caution is required until such time! Note that gaskets in the engine also contain asbestos. Friction linings brakes etc may do too but generally poeple are aware of that.
Good luck with finding the bits. Nick

I'll watch out for the asbestos I would have had no idear about it being in the car. thank fully I do have a metal heater box. but I was going to remove the hood lining. Im only 14 and had no clue it had asbestos in it.

Take care with the bonnet insulation too when you find a bonnet. I will be having the suspect stuff tested so as yet its not 100% definite but best to take precautions until I can confirm for sure what is and is not. It is a good idea to wear a mask if you are scraping off the underseal as this may contain some too. Again something I will be checking. Nick
