They're certainly Morris replica ones, whether off a Moggy or not I don't know. Need something with side lights as the head lights I got don't have any. The only concern I have is how well hidden the indicators are. Need to put some decent repeaters down on the end of the front wings.

Quick question, are you guys fitting the mesh into the various vents before or after painting?

I promised you some stupid questions so here's another one. I bought a pair of the Land Rover wiper extenders that Chris recommends but how do I fit the bloody things? Do I need to buy Land Rover wiper arms as well?

Any wiper arm that has a splined attachment will fit , such as mini old triumph old jags range rovers ...

I presume I need to drill out the adapters though?

Thanks Chris, my attempts at a single wiper conversion didn't work. Even tried investing in a pantographic wiper arm but it didn't clear enough of the screen.

Well that was fun. Squoosed adhesive all over the back end, by the time I got it in position the bloody stuff had gone solid so then spent the next two hours chipping and grinding it back off to try again tomorrow and do it bit by bit

Woo Hoo! Back end bonded on and my K&N Typhoon arrived today. Just need to sort those pesky wipers and then it's mondo bondo time for the front.

Getting closer - Front end bonded on and started the filling.
Tidied up the nostrils
and put some supports across for the bonnet pins.

Quick question guys, for those who have made the convertible. Have you put filler across between the Frankenstein bolts to raise the body work up to the same height as the kit or left the original panel there and worked around it?

I left the original panel as is. Looks fine to me haven't noticed any thing wrong with it .
