Sealed Beam 5 inch twin-filament headlights have suddenly become NLA .
Quartz Halogen with an H4 bulb is a semi-drop-in aftermarket replacement, but will need relay switching.

Centre caps on Sprint alloy wheels seem to be made from the most delicate metal known to man so is there any chance of those being re-manufactured out of something just a little more resilient...?!

Door lock buttons (if that is what they are called) need to be hoarded as they can become brittle and crack/snap if handled roughly...!!!

- Original inlet hose supports
- clutch master
- clutch slave
- starter motor including solenoid
- alternator

I'm 70% sure I have the hose mounts on my car and I definitely don't need them

Engine swapping it so I'll be using the clutch from the doner car

Engines for sale so I have starter motor to spare
So many ideas... So little budget... So little time.
