Nice work I am sure it was nice to get out and drive her again.

Payment should be clearing soon also for the lights, stickers & hinges so I should have some nice parcels arriving at the start of the new year

Going to see if I can get Ben across to weld these lights in when he's got time.

A lot of progress so quickly, keep it up.

Cheers mate, yeah she's coming along nicely! Any luck with getting around to your own brakes today?

Nice effort!

Just had a trip into town but I couldn't push it and really test/bed the new brakes in because it was dark, foggy & freezing! Oh and Dad was sat beside me being a constant co-pilot

Spent the day across at Grandads, my Dad borrowed a van from work & we loaded up 2 old Motorbikes and then the remains of a 3rd, so I took the opportunity to scurry through his Aladdin's cave of a garage and find some good bits, came across a Lucas spotlamp which I'm going to clean up, could somehow use this! I was thinking of a clamp onto the gutter, I wouldn't use it all the time, just for shows and such. Couple of Leyland boxes with gators & rear view mirrors in, a Britax rear light from a Motorbike I think?





Couple of pictures here and I'll send the rest to my Dad, I might him to stick them up in the 'Any Other Projects' section, I'm sure plenty of people would be interested!

Oh and I modded my exhaust with one from a motorbike, think this is the same at a stage 1 kit?

Only the one Lucas lamp then?

[analogue_radio]

Nah there was probably about 5 in total! but most of them were designed for motorbikes, this was the only one that was a stand alone type lamp.

Thats a shame, if you had a pair, they would have looked nice on the grille.

[analogue_radio]

Yeah that's true I'm thinking the gutter idea would be a good one, if I don't use it then it can sit in the garage and just look pretty. Seemed a shame to see it lying around not being much use.

[1987_ParkLane]

Yer, or just have it in the middle of your grille, seen some minis like that, not sure how it would look though lol.

[analogue_radio]

It was my Grandads & he passed away not long ago, doesn't seem like it anyway.. would be nice to find a use for it! Any suggestions?

[1987_ParkLane]

Sorry to hear about that, well I do kind of like your gutter idea.

[analogue_radio]

That's the numberplate light for a bike, if Dad doesn't use it I'm thinking turn it upside down and fit a MK1 boot, it would sit nicely in the recess for the light!
