Nah! The fogs below the bumper do, but the 2 driving lights haven't been wired up, I may get round to doing it one day...

Got the drivers seat in today, my original plan didn't work, so I had to modify that and make a new set of brackets but it's in, the passenger seat should now be a lot easier as I know what needs to be made now, so should be done over next couple of days all being well.

An update.

Since fitting the seats, I have done the grand total of bugger all to it!! :shock: Did the New Forest Run, and took it to the Easter opening of CCOTP, but apart from that it's just sat there gathering dust and pollen.

I have a half hearted advert running for it on retrorides, but while half of me considers selling or swapping it I just don't know. I can go out to it after not touching it for weeks and it will fire up with no dramas and settle down to a nice healthy beat.

I had hoped now we have some nice weather to use it a bit, but it just hasn't happened. I need to get some enthusiasm up!!

Alas the 4 day weekend saw me running kids to dance class on the Saturday (I'm not going in THAT!!) Sunday was wet and miserable, and we've just got back from having some bits to sort out for my aunt up in the Midlands, so it's been sat there again, under the cover going no where still. :(

Depending on the weather Sunday, and if we have nothing else on, I may take it to the local do down on the seafront.

Well, Fathers Day, some sun, so I pushed the boat out, hoover, wash, cut and polish, sunroof thrown back and a trip to the seafront was in order. Mind did catch some blonde posing over the bonnet too...

Oh and I also reverted the grille back to the stainless headlight surrounds rather than having them black and I've decided it looks so much better :D

Well unless I can find them 'online' it didn't happen as the bloody phone decided a) memory was full and b) battery was flat :evil:

However, here's one of my old car*
