Replaced the fronts Today. The new lenses came with a new chrome centre spot and bulb cover to fit, but as usual being repro they didn’t fit right so I cleaned up and reused the originals.

did the same with the dart, thay were badly pitted. Used the original lenses. Looks great Blue. Turned out nice.

Replaced the damaged rear lenses with some repros, the white is a bit too white but no doubt it will dull down a little in time.
What is it with these repo parts that don't even fit ...such a common story, I've had to reuse parts myself for that reason......
But great job, looking good

First chance I've had to get the bugger out this year! Tuning run to dial in the new AED carb, now running well and I much prefer the snappy response from the 4.10s. It now drives the best it ever has since I've owned it I reckon.
