Stag project

[Wal Thompson and Stephanie Rush <wal.t@domain.elided>]

Hi all from down under.



I'm a 1973 MKII Stag owner near Palmerston North, New Zealand.   As

winter's approaching here I've put the Stag in my garage and am

undertaking a moderate restoration project, including full respray, 

interior recondition, and soft top frame overhaul.   Luckily the current

Mohair hood is still in good nick so I'll leave that. 



So far I've got the interior completely stripped except for the dash,

and most of the exteriors including the roll bar, bumpers etc are off

also.   



Does anybody know if there is a way to remove the lower chrome sidelines

that run along the exterior of the car at the floorline?   I've tried

moderate leverage but am afraid I will crease the trim or dent the

bodywork.   Also the side indicator lights are difficult to access from

the engine bay to remove.   Is there a trick/tool I don't know? 



Happy summer motoring up north while I shiver in the garage!
