Good job on repairing the a pillars.

This is a cool project, looking forward to seeing more! Cool on the old Honda XL (well...it wasn't old then, LOL!), I've owned a few XL's and XR's (and XR250L's/XR650L's, CRFL's and X's, and currently a daily ridden year round CB500X ), I'd love to have a clean one now too

Got back to this one after 3 years.  We had a spell of low humidity here in FL and I got a chance to get some painting done.  The color is supposed to be Ontario Orange.  I mixed Testor's orange and yellow enamels to make my own representation, followed y 2 coats of Model Master clear enamel.  It's about ready for the vinyl top paint and then some polishing.

I got the interior finished up and ready to go in.  I used the rear seat from a second kit to make the front bench seat.  The 1:1 car had a rubber floor covering - no carpeting - so I just painted the floor flat black.  I drew up and 3d printed the headrests and speaker grilles.

 

The dash has the generic gauge cluster, JC Whitney 3-gauge panel, and 8-track player just as the 1:1 car did.  I removed the SS emblems from the steering wheel and it works pretty well for a base model wheel.

Possible.  It's likely that the dealer installed the vinyl top and the side moldings.  It would have been pretty plain without them, especially if it came with poverty caps. I wish I had the build sheet.

I'm calling this one done.  I'll post more pictures in the Under Glass section.
