hey looking good old chap..

with the quad headlamp conversion I hope you realise you're going to need the front guards also, otherwise there will be a big gap around the park lamps as they are a different shape/size.

Nah he should be fine. The recessed rectangular headlights use the same guards, bonnet, valance etc...
I have swapped them over before with no worries...

Nice car man.
This picture interests me.

Is that with the inner lip folded up and under or pulled out or cut off?

[uncle silvia]

WOW you spotted my MASSIVE UPDATE quickly lol

Is that with the inner lip folded up and under or pulled out or cut off?

Its the inner lip folded up for strength and then rolled out!!

Well im now in NZ traveling and the car is in storage back home!!
When i get back i have made a few decisions

Its no longer gonna be my daily driver......... but I want to fully build the car to show spec as i now have the use of a garage!!

Those front wings will be replaced with GRP ones which are already flared in shape and the whole car will be painted and rustproofed!
Oh and I have more cool bits to go on as Ill post up shortly!!

Oh and it will get an engine swap too
