Can this be repaired?

Can anyone tell me if this grill can be repaired?



Also, as I am not a fan of mirrors on the one side, can the driver side remote door mirror internals be fitted to the passenger side door mirror so that I can have remote door mirrors on both sides?

Your grill looks from this pic very restorable. It cost a lot of time and patience but certainly with ebay around more or less all grilles are
possible to fix.
For the mirror, the drivers remote will not fit on your passengerside. You will have to go with a non remote if you want to keep the stock look.

Unfortunately, I haven't received the car yet. These are just the photos from the seller. It is about to leave the shores of your beloved country and park in my garage about three weeks after that!

Darkman,

That grille can certainly be restored. Like Per said you just need patience. The left "C" molding looks good but if its not I have one available. The right hand one can be repaired, I recently did that to mine. You'll find "PlastiFix" kits a godsend for those parts of the grille itself that are cracked or fractured. They make black and clear, check it out. You'll find several wizards here that have worked wonders fabricating missing pieces for their grilles. Don't let it intimidate you, take lots of pictures during disassembly. Buy a cheap 6" buffer from Harbor Freight, about $25, they are magic!

Finally, the background in your pictures looks like a 10+ car garage. If that's your place, I hate you! If its the sellers palce, I hate him!

Good luck and keep us posted.
