Nice pics. In the close up of the EEC decal you can see the hose clamps. Originals have square ends, repros I've seen have round ends. I've noticed the use of the two different washer sized bolts on hood hinges, even though the assembly manual calls for only one number -- never seeen flat ended ones like that used. Based on paint color the engine has been rebuilt, which means related bolts could have been mixed up or replaced -- shops don't worry too much about putting bolts back where they belong. Could also be someone touched it up with the wrong color -- lots of overspray.

Anyone ever find washers behind the heater box, at the attachment points? Assembly manual calls for them, but I've yet to find any.
