That is indeed very, very nice 8)

Perfect choice of rims to get banded aswell, but they don't come up over here very often as IIRC they were only fitted to the Nova* SR (*Corsa in Europe).

Love that colour, those mudflaps look like they are on the floor :D

I used to have a 76/7, silver door handles mirrors, same seats as yours, black hub caps etc. etc. It was stolen in 2006 :( .
I now have a 1980 3 door (needs restoration work). I have a few parts that were in storage when the 77 car was stolen. I have 4 of the original wheels and hub caps, tailgate badges, tailgate button, one silver mirror, all the seats (seats in very bad condition) and metal parcel shelf. I was thinking of making my 1980 into a 76/77 replica (external only). Do you now if there is anywhere I could get any 1976/7 parts?
