another update
 
Well things are really beginning to progress now, First of all i had a little play with headlights, and found that VW lupo ones could fit quite nicely after a bit of work, however not sure about the look, think its a little bug eyed

Think ill probably end up going for the twin spots as on the silver car in my avatar.
Next issue was with the clutch pipework, needed a flexi on the mastercylinder end, however weird thread, so decided to make an adapter:

Good progress Ed.
Not quite convinced with the Lupo headlights though.
Keep meaning to post some updates on my progress but they might have to wait till the weekend - went out windsurfing today (No. 1 passion for the last 8 years) and suspect that I will be so cream crackered tomorrow I won't be able to hold a camera never mind actually do any work on the car.

i wasnt convinced with the lupo headlights either Ken, thats why ill just swap to the phantom twin spots at a later stage i think.
