Still waiting on the engine to come back......

Been doing little things when I get a few minutes, latest is to build up the tail light units. Bought new seal, new chrome diecast frames and new lenses.
Around here, we're supposed to run amber turn signal sections in our lights. Luckily, a guy in the next suburb to mine has a business making rare tail lamp lenses and such stuff. He's making very nice amber sections for 70-73, 74-78 and 79-81 lights.....so I bought a set and he fitted them to my new lenses.



I made up a divider for the outer lamp section of the light to separate the brake/tail lamp area from the turn signal area, painted the housing inside (white gloss) and outside (aluminium) and them made up some new studs for the diecast cover.....all went together nicely.
