Another box :

The main reason for placing the order, Cibie H180 lamps :

There were a few other things like some gaskets and various seals.

I also decided to fit up the master cylinders, with new gaskets etc :

She's still a bit dusty and dirty, but you get the idea. Also took a couple with the mirrors on :

So glad I decided on these. They really provide the look I'm going for.

I keep putting it off. It was in storage for a long time and so the creases are quite significant at the moment - out comes the hairdryer.

I fitted the headlight bowls today and decided to see what the lights would look like :

I also put the yellow covers on :

I like both looks, but prefer the yellow, it breaks the colour scheme.

I put the new pedal rubbers on, but still need to clean them up properly and get around to doing up the steering column :

I also did a bit more on the headlining. It certainly is starting to lose the creases :

I'm liking this view more and more :

And just to have some fun, I put on the rims that came off my brother's car :

Just, NO!!!

I fitted the headlights for good today. Wiring sorted out (bit of a mess on the passenger side), Night Breakers put in and park lights moved from the indicator unit up to the headlight. Just need to get the correct orange globes and finish up the wiring for them and then those get fitted as well. Once that's done, I shall put a picture up.
