Rear-view Mirrors

Almost a month and a half later, I'm back working on the car. Several other things got in the way but the three hours spent today were very good.

Last weekend I had some friends over and they wanted to see the car working. So I took each one of the three for a couple of laps around the garage. It was fun and now I have my fuel tank almost empty.

First small job today was to try to tighten the front lights since they were really lose. I don't have a deep socket so I used pointy pliers, otherwise would have to go shopping. The pliers did the trick. Then I separated the scuttle from the dash panel and left the dash on the car. The scuttle was taken to the storage room where I drilled a few holes (after lots of measuring) to put the rear-view mirrors in. This is the final look:

I think the side mirrors may be switched around, will have to look better into it. The kid came around as I was finishing up so it was him, eager to help, that tightened all the mirror's bolts.

Next task will be to drill the holes below to fit to the chassis and put the "tiny windscreen".
