They were probably ordered from a 1974 copy of custom car magazine! |

That is coming together very nicely indeed... It is interesting to note that your Toledo doesn't have a chrome gutter trim on it (even going back to the older pictures of it in your ownership) so will you fit these or leave them as is? Mine are a bit broken(!) so when I do the same as you I may leave them off to be honest... On another note, where did you get your weather strips from?! Mine are pretty much deceased...!!! Please keep us posted of the rebuild as this is sure to end up looking very special indeed. |

Standard Toledos don't have gutter trims...... or tread plates in the door openings ......or the lower door rubbing strips.It is interesting to note that your Toledo doesn't have a chrome gutter trim on it (even going back to the older pictures of it in your ownership) so will you fit these or leave them as is?

^^^ I suppose my Toledo being a late one had the gutter trims and door rubbing strips added to make it more desirable...?! They were definitely fitted from new... Anyhow, I cannot wait to see how this Toledo looks when it's been fully fitted-up. It is going to look fantastic!!! |

Yes my '74 Toledo had gutter trims - I remember this because they were the only things holding the gutters together! |

Yup no gutter trims here! I dont think i'd fit them even if it did have them seems like another area for moisture to collect and rust the car! The weather strips came from Chris Witor http://www.chriswitor.com/ Nothing much to report on the Toledo, interior is all back in few bits of wiring tidied up and I;ve got the headlight adjusters soaking in some bilt hamber rust stuff. |

Thanks for the info' with regards to those wether strips, I shall have to get some quick sharp! Are they easy to fit...?! |

The strips are a bit fiddly to fit, I used the clips Chris Witor sells which are of a better design than the originals. I found the best way was to remove the door card, then remove the window stop at the bottom of the door. With this gone you can then wind the window down a bit further than normal which give you a bit more room. Once the clips and new strips were roughly in place I used a 'L' shaped bit of steel to pull them securely up in to place. |

Blimey, those lights look absolutely ruddy brilliant...!!! I have been promising myself a bit of added illumniation ever since I took my Toledo to France and realised that night time driving in the French countryside was rather quite scary! I have some period Lucas 'Square 8' spotlamps that I will fit at some juncture and looking at those Halogens I am going to have to source some of those one day (soon) too...! I have to say that your project is now fully becoming my inspiration... |

I'm sure you can find a suitably period 3rd brake light from eBay or similar... Are those rear fog-lamps from the 'bay?! I think I may have seen them and I may nab some myself...!!! I still think that the Wolfies are a great choice of wheel...! Spot-on... |
