    cheers Hermit, I will absolutely...few mods to be done to secure system in place for more strength...although, I think first thing that might break in entire steering system is steering wheel as it's very delicate piece, my magic glue does the job and it's super strong, but having said anyone can break anything in the end of the day haha

    for past few days there was good few trials and errors on front lights. Wanted to get best possible result of the looks of the front lights.
    So here it goes...
    Started with this, my good old friend Arthur Guinness came in to workshop to give us a hand on project

    it got cut in pieces

    made some clever tool

    did some mirror shine polishing

    used my new cool tool and hammer to make some cool stuff

    and I have shiny reflectors for my lights

    looking good

    time paint background black


    clear plastic saved from flowers used for glass imitation...lines cut with paper knife

    vola, 2 lights done so far

    will be adding another cool feature

    here's lights in action with dimming control

    Default lights, trunk

    both lights in

    before wiring front lights need to sort out trunk for space
    first panel goes in

    back wall of trunk goes in

    sides

    and floor...with correctly positioned spare wheel space...front wall to be added...all to be primed and painted in glossy black paint

    and few more details to be added

    Default trunk

    wanted to add small detail to trunk from this piece

    carved into this

    it became into this

    painted

    watching the looks of new inlay, looks and feels cool, will go for it

    end result, will be perfect place for storage

    and in place, looking good

    over past couple of days managed to add 4 coats of special amber yacht varnish to most parts of body to enhance and protect body, except doors for this moment.

    Are you going to do a short video of it for everyone with lights on, looking front sides, back corners, underneath and on top....
    I'm sure you'll have the "Delorean" enthusiasts from around the world lining up to have a look...
    VERY WELL DONE!!!!!
