SATURDAY:
went to pick a part to get el wagon lights as INITIALD told me there where some, i turn up there and fingd them both to be totaled completly,but it wasn't a total loss as on my way in i found clear front indicators on an eb wagon so i took em off for $40 and fitted them
MONDAY:
i tried to muck around to get it straightened up right and all but found it would bee too much work *i got it all together and to fit but found that it was nearly impossible to get the grill to look the same on each side etc...so i choped the lights off and chucked the grille section and i glassed up the holes that where left,i also modified my ed grill bu pulling out the centre piece to make it look alittle meaner
TUESDAY:
i stated sanding the lights smooth after the glass had dried overnight went to put it in place, they turned out to be a little off so i sanded them on the belt sander until i get em right and glassed them up as some holes appeared, and i went to fordwise to buy some xr head lamps, i found they wanted $600 for both so i told em to get stuffed,
went to k-mart later in the day and found some driving lamps (very nice ones actually) monza brand, that i was gonna use as high beams until i found they'd be suited to standard beam as well, and these also came with angel lights in em so i've got the parker lamps sorted, all this for only $50so it was a good deal i recon, i also took the pics below yesterday (tuesday)
WEDNESDAY:
well today was kinda a slack off day or so it seems, i hamd the brackets to mount hte lights to the radiator support, and i made a fibre glass platform to mount the lamps to thas about all i got up to today(only one light BTW)
THURSDAY:
tomorrow i plan to get another set of these sick looking driving lamps as highbeams, mount the bracket and platform to the other (twin light wonna be xrlamp thing ) and source out the bumper i will use under the ea one
*as i've decided not to use an ef one as there are plenty now thinking of doing that mod, so i'm gonna find a bumper with nice scoops in it and mould it on with a few mods to make it unique:) so now one will beable to copy it exactly (if it turns out good)*
FRIDAY: i plan to paint it all up and have it installed it if it all goes to plan
NEXT WEEK:
i plan to start on the final product of the FULL custom kit hope to have that finished after a few months or so * as i'm going overseas for a month in a month (actually exactly a month :) we leave christmas day)lets see if i'll be able to get most of it finished by then :)

Looks good tommi.
I was gunna cut my broken XR grill au and attach my spare EB grill to it, then attach that to the bonnet, so it go'e up and down with the bonnet.
Didnt do it.
It is most certainly not legal to use driving lights as headlights. Ever wondered what all those lines that have been etched into headlights are for? They direct the majority of the light to the lower left, which won't happen with those driving lights. But hell, it's only illegal if ya get caught Should look pretty good when it's done.
