Did the side lights cost you much new? as one of mine has cracked and if it is cheap enough i might just replace it brand new.

Weve got 3 bays, now gonna build another 2 i think, And some outside storage to put cars in to keep em out of the weather. I had an XR2 for my first car, that needed sills, arches, wings, floor pans fornt and rear, both chassis rails and a clutch Was a great car after all that

Might have to come over and see your place, heard some good comments about it
