Im already jealous....

[gmw9666]

Was getting knackered at the end of the day but you get the idea what I'm going for

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Stella

[mrzigazaga]

Are you having a perspex cover with rear access or filling in the hole and then fitting a unit...Strange as i was looking at the picture of the blue SEAC racer earlier and thought the latter....

The "plan" I hope will be to fill in like the paper in the pic, fit 2 small rectangle lights from the rear and have a cover as well

Been trying to ID lamps and its tricky to find something small. I can get round ones but want rectangular ones

That Dyson hoover box is well strong..Its holding up the front O/S body shell...Wow...Who needs axle stands....

I can't believe no one has commented on my chassis transport system aka my old skateboard lol

Only 24 years old it is, I knew it would have a use again :-)

Which bit the chassis? Not sure really. The rear end is pretty light, the front I can lift but way more of a struggle

[hallsie]

oh yeah, an old santa cruz!!

I was running around on Powell Peraltas back in the day, but with super sticky simms street snake roller skate wheels and rubbers in the trucks that had been mashed so they were soft!!

And still, hmmmmm more stella!

This may be of some help...

I have had a good search as i thought maybe a motorcycle headlight would fit..There are these and i think they may be the same as the ones in the first link..

Couldn't find anything similar in the UK??..

I had spotted these but they are too wide :-(

Mark,

These are just regular rectangular lamps as fitted to some old Toyota vans/pickups, too many American cars from the 70's and the Audi quattro, the real one;

http://www.mad4wheels.com/webpics/hires/00000108%2...

I sourced some directly from Hella UK (wanted to make sure I had EU/UK spec lamps):

Car came with granny MK1 lamps: http://srv2.betterparts.org/images/de-tomaso-longc...

and ended up retrofitted with quad rectangles like this local model to me: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/Longchamp/RHD... only I have projectors.

You can find some rectangles on the bay.

Personally I'd love to recreate this look on the wedge:

but I don't have the funds to have this level of work done.

Good luck, Still waiting for mine to be picked up, clearly the company I used in the past don't really want the business

An alternative will be found once I'm back of me hols !

It's an easy enough lift for two people; when Mick (formerly FrenchTVR on PH) bought a chassis from Darlington I picked it up on a trailer and the pair of us slid it into a luton van at Leicester Forest services with no trouble.
