Yeah there is a lot more frontal area straight into the radiator. I think the temp gauge may be a bit that way judging off the vague approximations of the fuel gauge lol. It reads 3/4 when I fill up and changes with speed and generally sort of is goes down to the orange mark (whatever that means) and I put about 40 liters in then. Is that sort of fuel gauge reading normal? Is there a way to make it any more accurate? (though I do understand that this is an old car). Also how big is the tank, just so I can judge off that better?

One other thing, should there be a plastic lens over the number plate light? Or does the globe just hang out bare?

Oh and more stuff arrived today!
