Vernon, great effort 2 out of 6, with regard to the difference between Mk2 &3 only the early Mk2 ghia's had polished and painted finish from approx 1975 they were all silver as per Mk3.
There was also another difference quite a large one.

If not and I suspect they didn't then good effort but 1 out of 6 buddy.
