Anyway, back to the car..........

Pretty much exactly what I would build if I decided to get another VL, unfortunately if I did it now I'd be copying you

It doesn't matter man, it's a discussion forum. I can't do work on it now 'cos I'm stuck at work so I might as well talk about the work that needs to be done. Next best thing, right?!

01-07-08, 14:25 GMT+10#87 Is it getting an original windscreen seal or the newer one piece rubber job? The rubber fits great and looks good, and no water sneaking in down the sides to promote rust.

The one thing I instantly regret doing is not going to VT rubber. It'll have the standard plastic cladding...for the moment anyway

The last two pics I posted are the only real good photos. It's in my mate's shed now which has the world's worst lighting - no good for showing off the gloss. It's glassy though, very deep

I like how clean they look. Maybe when the standard ones are blacked up a bit they'll look the part

I'll have to look into it. A lot of people diss the repro stuff but I've had no trouble with it this time around, touch wood. The moulds and the front bar are all Taiwanese and, granted they weren't baked, but they're arrow straight. I'd love to use NOS gear but it's just not that kinda car

Yep. Managed to get a really good centre garnish from a forum member and will just get new lights from Rare Spares. The Rares lights are OK, I bought a new set just under to years ago and already one of them has gone to ****.

Na it's the driver's side one. The middle lens is starting to fall out. It could probably be fixed with glue but I might as well just buy new ones
