Hello Glen,
nice to see you here.
I was following the acution on Bring a Trailer.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1960-ac-aceca-3/?utm_source=dm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2023-01-26It looks like a very nice almost original car.
I see that the auction included as well all the wood trimming. so if you have found the "binnacle", you should be able to convert the car back to orignal specs, wich i think looks nicer that the "Cobra" style for an Aceca.
Probably under the leather trimming you can find the old holes for the orignal woodwork.
if you are lucky enough the woodwork is the original ons. And to cofirm that at the back you should be able to read AEX732 written with a pencil.
732 looks like a very nice car with a nice and clean undercarriage that looks very original and with nice engine bay.
The interior looks very nice as well and will be even nicer when you will be done with the wood trimming. The rest of the woods seems the original one.
The starting handle is missing in the engine bay.
Wire mesh stone guards under the front wheel arches is missing, but can probably be made. There is the sing of a light impact on the front. and there is a broken body stay tube on the front left side, but that can be easily reparied.
