Need to get chrome bumpers also .I think the trunk sticker is your best bet. Your car is nice but I find it too bad that someone painted it all black... You could always have both sides painted dark grey and it'll have it's original "WH1" look again, no need to repaint the whole car!

Most definitely. I will repaint back to original. And will have lots of questions. I’ve seen some discussion on the right paint codes being used. And also the pinstripes. I guess I need to look for original chrome bumpers too. I imagine I’ll wait awhile before painting so I can enjoy it some. Crazy part is I knew nothing about the WH1 and started the engine build and was reading one night about the WH1 on here so I went out to see what mine was.Also, I believe the WH1 is the only T Type with the Rear Spoiler as part of the designer package. With the rarity of the car - 463 produced in 1986 - it would be nice to restore it back to its originality IMHO. If in fact you do a repaint, I may be able to offer up some detailed pics of the paint details around the header panel and bumper fillers where the pinstriping belongs. If you decide to rebadge it you may want information on where they are placed too.
And aluminum rear brake drums.........I believe it also had aluminum bumper support/backer , I know mine does .
