Default Headlights back together.

Amongst the other jobs, I have been working through final stages of rebuilding the headlights and dress rims.

They now look ever so slightly better than 'as found'.

I recall when the bowls came back from sandblasting. They didn't weigh as much on the way home, as opposed to when they went away!

The rear of bowls are to be painted next weekend, while nose panel outside is painted. The inside of the bowls are painted in gloss 2 Pack green. Color is different but thats not important as they won't be seen. I just used a green I happened to have some time ago.

One of these dress rims had two dents in it. Hopefully you can't tell now. Was 60 mins of light 'tapping' with a jewellers hammer to get to present stage. I'm happy with the result.
