There may be trouble ahead

I do need side lights but to be honest i've not really thought of fitting them in the headlights,

My thought was sidelights on the outer pair and orange indicator repeaters on the inner pair.

Yeh thats a good idea but i'm not sure how easy it would be to drill the headlight unit as only the dips have the sidelight holes.
Onto the boot lid today, and after alot of head scratching i thought i would have a go at lead loading instead, i decided to weld the holes up and fill the rest with lead, which turned out quite well, a few holes where it didnt quite flow but good enough.

Always thought the number plate lights were an after thought so decided to fit them where they should be, i found a suitable donor after trawling the net.

You could get another pair of dips and swap the lenses over.

I agree, the plate lights will look a lot better there.

The trouble is they are dear enough to buy so ill probably leave it, ive found some others that i might use yet

Looking at the bumpers the ends are a bit naff, so decided to tidy them up a bit, a bit of welding and grind up

Ive been mulling over the door handles for a while as they are just too sticky out, i wanted to reduce the projection but couldn't come up with anything suitable, so binned them and fitted lock openers.

A bit more messing about on the boot lid to get the lock/catch to fit and work

Im at a point now where the engine and box dont need to be fitted any more so decided to take them out.

Thought i would move on the the crumple zone now the engine was out.
These chop out came from the original brackets for the mgf steering mounts
