Back with an update: got replacement springs and shocks for the front, and new floor panels. Not too soon either, here are some photos of the 'before and almost after' (half the floor is now done and has been painted in anti-corrosion paint, ready for new mats to go in):

Before:


New metal ready to be welded in:


So after that the new springs and shocks, and a new turn signal switch (old one cracked) and a new speedo cable (old one came apart). Then back for Swiss DMV test and, hopefully, new Swiss registration and new adventures...

So the new springs made a huge difference in the ride + handling department. The old ones were very tired.
I just put in 3-point seat belts, rain gutters, new weatherstripping. And fixed the heat (cable had slipped off the control lever and was frozen up also).
Turns out the engine is the original (number matches the VIN) 454, and gets good mileage to boot.
Now back to the Swiss authorities for a final check and then hopefully a proper Swiss registration. Been driving with California plates long enough now ... Looking forward to new adventures with the Earl Camino.
