I finally did the wing-ectomy on my car.  Why did I wait so long.  Now I 
have a white delta wing with end plates sitting in the basement.  Seems like 
new they are around $350, let mine go for $175 plus shipping.

Next is the interior of my car.  I'm just about to embark on a freshining of 
the interior as it is not really beat.  My biggest problem is the seats.  
The seat frame is broken on the drivers side and the cover is ripped on the 
passenger side.  The seats are not adjustable for for seatback rake.  Are 
any of them?  Can anyone suggest alternate year seat with adjustable 
seatback rake or an aftermarket seat that fits.  I went to the recaro store 
and tried a lot of different seats.  The only one close to fitting was a 
non-adjustable racing seat.  Not my idea of pratical.  The promary issue 
with the recaro seats was the thickenss of the seat cushion.  My head smacks 
the roof sitting in them.  I'm not that tall.  Pleas help.

Third is the gas filler.  Since my car is a pre-l 72, I have the extra 
dangerous filling method.  Pour gas onto the header while trying to get 
nozzle in the tank.  I bought an extension from Marino.  By the time I got 
around to installing it I had lost the receipt.  It doesn't fit.  There is 
interference black cover the engine screen mounts to.  He won't take it back 
without a receipt so I'm stuck with it.  So if anyone wants it, just pay 
postage and I'll send it off to you.  What I would like to know is has 
anyone adpated the L style gill gas cap to a pre-L.  Can I some aquire the 
pieces neccessary to do the swap?
Thanks
Landis
