Got any pics? steel or ally? I wouldn't be too bothered about not the whole bumper, I was planning on making one from scratch anyway.

Today I finalized everything on the 3rd eye install, which meant fishing more wires around under the dash, wiring up another relay under the bonnet and finding a home for the control box (no idea where it is supposed to go originally)

Happy to say everything worked out tip top and I now have a fully working 3rd eye of enlightenment on my wagon. It can be turned on any time regardless of main headlights, but turns off automatically when you turn the engine off

Here's where the control box now lives; I made a new shorter harness to connect the light assembly to the box and wrapped it in loom tape. Because of this location, I'm thinking I'll take some extra measures to stop moisture getting into it, and any coolant that might get carelessly splashed around when filling the rad.


And a quick demo, not that you can see much from this angle but just to show the button works

has SA upgraded its rules to some level of sensibility re light bars etc ? Lights at the front in the past had to be in pairs. Some states now allow single light bars. And yu need to have your work of art inspected yet uhuh?

Finally the last pieces of window glass went in today

There was no interest from others regarding getting a few rear quarter window seals made up, so as a test the guy who was going to make them for me did what he could without making custom molds. Which was pretty much one continuous piece of straight rubber with the ends cut at an angle and glued together for the top front corner. For the opposite corner which was the troublesome area, the straight piece of rubber was just bent round the corner. Luckily the bend was long and round enough that the rubber could take it and still look half decent. I will be putting silastic/sikaflex type stuff behind it to stop any potential leaks from occurring.

The install was much easier than I was expecting. With two people and a piece of paracord inside the inner lip to pull through, both windows went in quite easily. Really happy with the results

Comparison pics below of the NOS rubber seal I had with the proper fit and the other side with the straight piece bent round the corner. Once the trim is installed it is barely noticeable.
