Re: Engine & Trans conversions - costs & locations??

Thanks for the reply and the advice, you pretty much confirmed what I thought really and I think that's what I wanted. After much deliberation, I decided to just get a good compromise family car and daily driver and to just keep the Rocco as my project / Summer / weekend car. Especially after ...

Also, I decided to check them again just in case it was a one off bit of water or something and have found a pattern now. basically the side lights and dipped main beams work fine, so the switch seems to be ...

Re: Plastic headlights

OK, will try and find the pics tomorrow night. Also forgot to mention that I started the process with 800 & 1600 grit wet and dry just to get the top layer off and remove any scratches / chip edges etc. Still took less than an hour.
