Managed to do a few things over xmas.
1). Tinted headlights and bonnet perspex
2). Sunstrip
3). DIY single wiper
4). DIY smooth scuttle








Think a shud paint the rivets black instead of the stainless steel? was ma plan...

Also took loads of photos for the single wiper conversion but deleted them by accident!!!!!GUTTED! Can still do the guide though if people want will try and get more photos?

cheers.

Nath- they look darker in those pics because they r sheltered by the garage, in direct sunlight they dont look as bad.

They shine white light lol which is all i care about...

when you say you did the single wiper DIY, you buy a bigger arm? i dunno I'm confused - I've seen how the kits are fitted, but doing it yourself sounds sweet.

a small walk-thru would be quality mate!

essex - the wiper normally rests by the tax disc i just pulled it upa bit for show.....

danz - i posted in HERE a quick guide how to do it.
The linkage has been shortened so it legally sweeps the whole window

Thanks

looks good, i wouldnt have done the scuttle like that, looks like you have used a shit load of filler which will 99% sink, would have been better to wrap the whole thing with fibreglass matt then just use a tiny bit of filler to smooth it.
