Cheers Icon...you're not a spot weld counter, by per chance!

You're right about the gas pedal. I spotted the indentations on the front of the pedals and assumed they were rivet heads but they are where the metal has pulled in from welding. The two suspension towers were spot welded but the rivets are for the full body version that will have the inner arches attached to the towers by rivets over the spot welds, so you get both for your money!
