One morning on my way to work. The Ghia is low, so my light is the same height as a Hi-Lux bullbar. :cry: Those lights are Mini headlights (a conversion if you can't find the real lowlight headlight.) I've got the real thing in the post on the way to me :D

The bitch about these cars, is that they are not 'in parts/panels'. All the panels (so to speak) are silver soldered to create a one-piece body.... worked on a badly rusted one. So it can be fixed.

Looking at this Ghia body, looks just like a few spots that needs to be buffed ;)

The welding on the body is finished. Just have to finish off and paint. All this rain weather is not playing along!
