The side lights in the grille have now been changed to indicators.
The side lights will now be wired into the new headlights.
I also flat and polished the whole back end.

Having followed this all the way through, I can only say that there's just one thing I've seen that isn't up to the standard of the rest, and that's this:
Regardless of what the manufacturer/supplier tells you, that will eventually damage the rad, and bearing in mind the high standard of everything else, that would be a real shame. Just my two cents worth. (And not just sour grapes because I'm jealous... )

Currently over 35 years worth of fixing 35 boxes.
Hoping to reach 65 years worth of fixing 65 boxes.

Oooooh. That clip has to be heard through some large speakers with decent bass response. Fortunately, I found a suitable pair and have now caused a small earthquake in my house.
