Where did you get the lights from m8 they look the dogs b******s?.

[Willid1]

hope this helps

[StitchJones]

How much needs to be cut away to fit the headlight bowl?.

[j0llyboy]

on the back of the light there is a plastic collar for a grommet that is needed for the mini, the escort dose not need this so about 1 inch need to be trimmed. very easy but make shore you tape up the back off the light so the dust from cutting dose not go into the light. pain to clean out of the lens if it falls in. hope this helps mate

Up early tomorrow to start removing the front chassis rails and then weld in the new ones. Managed to get some original never fitted Mk1 front rails. Will post some pics Saturday

[j0llyboy]

new chassis in rails painted in zink, extra welding on the bolts as well

[j0llyboy]

Cutting out the old rail. what a nightmare
