I concentrated on getting the radiator, fan and associated plumbing into the 'Rat today. When locating the expansion tank I was concerned it would foul the bonnet so I fitted it for the first time in two years to check clearances. I'd forgotten what it looked like. So while it was on I offered up the front bumper to get an impression of the finished look. It really looked like I'd made a lot of progress and has given me a confidence boost.
Some ideas from the forum would be appreciated here. What I'm thinking of to finish the front off is a chequer plate aluminium grille with four large holes in it, with black mesh behind and for the headlights two lights on either side as on old BMWs, along with a pair of spots mounted on the bumper. What do you lot think, and any ideas for a source of some suitable headlights?
