One morning on my way to work. The Ghia is low, so my light is the same height as a Hi-Lux bullbar.

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

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

Didi Any progress on the ghia?

Here’s the engine. I start it up every now and then just for fun

Seen any of these Optibelt fanbelts recently?

Here is the lowlight repo badge from Jerry Heldt in OZ

I’ve got these 59-64 billet indicators that I want to swop for early ones

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