    Bummer, now I have to find another one.
    I thought it was a bit flimsy.
    I prefer the single headlight and now will go that way I think.
    Thanks.

    The rounded edge above the grille gives it away..... [....instead of the sharp edge of the original twin headlight one]


    .... although I have seen a sinbox with the opposite - made in a Lake Macquarie yard I believe

    Found a couple of single headlight front ends, will collect next week.
    Thanks for the advice, better to find out now.

    Well I got the single headlight front / radiator support plus everything else I needed and have been busy this morning.
    I just couldn't help myself as I have been dying to see the proper paint colour. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do, it's really motivated me again.
    Still looking for a 7 x 14 ROH GTS wheel if anyone's got one?

    thanks for the feedback.

    I've been busy over the last couple of days.
    Tray done with the stone guard stuff. Oh yeah and rear parcel shelf and side bits finished.


    A couple of light coats of colour.
    Here's a hint for everyone: Make sure you have enough hardener before you spend the morning setting up your spray booth and masking and everything else.



    Anyway I had to go ahead with not enough paint so I guess it's back to wet sanding and masking next weekend after a trip into town before the rest of the coats can go on
    .
    Who was it that said life wasn't meant to be easy.
