Good work there.

What are the driving characteristics like?

Didn't get much done today, I was being observed

What I did get done though was two coats of satin black to finish off the main front chassis tidy up.

The next step is to strip and paint the bumper rams / headlight arm mech / vacuum actuators and top brace. As part of the headlight refurb I've got to re-instate the buckets/adjusters/retainer ring that the PO (POS!) took upon themselves to remove!

I've bought some replacement 7" buckets and some UK RHD headlights, fingers crossed I can adapt them.

Bumper rams and headlight pods cleaned/repainted. The new buckets have also arrived and I've trimmed the rears down so they fit into the headlight pods.

Looking tidy!!

First headlight arm done, going to wait until this ones back together before doing the other just in case I need a reference!

[Manxmann]

Most of my stainless UNC bolts/nuts arrived yesterday so spent and hour putting the 1st headlight assembly back together, here's the results.

Looking tidy Manx.
Are they Carello lamps?

One small observation on the mount washers, it would be better to make some nice rectangular stainless stepped brackets rather than using the two wonky washers on each fixing.

I did say most
