Hi All,
I need new headlight bowls to fit halogen headlights but there seems to be some that fit the outer chrome ring and some that don’t. Does anyone know which ones to buy please?
Good progress on the bodywork (pics next week) and I hope to complete ‘side one’ shortly.
Hoping that side two is sufficiently ok that it’s a case of repair not major surgery like side 1. Superficially this looks to be the case.
Need to get my Spit inside so I can fix a driveshaft UJ. Triumph cars eat these!
Thanks
Alan

Steady progress. The quarter floor is in but not yet fully welded. Run out of gas again! You can probably see the big splodge of weld where I finally noticed….
Front wing is repaired - new metal and then skimmed. I’m not the best with filler but then again this car isn’t good enough to turn into a show car (for prizes…will be very smart though).
Colour matched paint is on the way from a supplier.
I’ve checked the brakes. The front Riley brakes aren’t leaking and pipes are good (changing seals anyway). The rear brakes are soaked in brake fluid so rebuild required.
New headlights have arrived to replace the rusted out originals.
