Dave, your workshop appears to have more rubbish, I mean irreplaceable spares!! Cheesy Cheesy, than mine, and I would have thought that was impossible! the other day I found a carb. I put "safely" away in 1965! the engine to go with it having long ago disappeared! hmmm......................

 Grin Yep really do need to have a massive clear out.
Pair of side mount headlights have just arrived. Less than £20 including delivery and they arrived within 48 hrs. Ok, so they're not  Lucas P100s but this is a budget build. Not sure where to mount them yet. Roll Eyes  (perhaps inside the grill  Wink). But should be easy to change to bottom mount if needed. Depending on where they end up they may get converted to include sidelights

I wish !
I started stripping the old body off 6 months ago, so I'm not exactly progressing very fast. Still a long, long way to go.
But at least the lights work.
