still undecided on which rear bar to go with.was thinking maybe a eb gt one but dont know if it would look good with what i have atm on the car.also prefer to deal with someone in melb rather than paying for freight interstate.

Looks good. Leave the C pillar white imo, but they look so much cleaner with the b-pillar black, I did mine a couple years ago for the same result.

You need a pair of BA headlights.

Remove the clear lense (PITA) and the extract the reflector.

Using an empty EB headlight frame, slide the BA reflector in. Note where it does not fit, and trim the top and the bottom of the low beam light.

When you can get the low beam in most of the way, you need to fabricate mount points of the EB light adjusters, to the back of the BA reflector.

Paint the inside of the EB frame black, and the non reflective areas of the reflector black.

Assemble with care.

For globes, the EB low beam are a direct fit, but you will need the BA high beam ones. Mod wiring if needed.

Oh, yeah, meant to reply to this the other day and got distracted.

My Fordmods thread has the above info.

That is about all there is to it really.

Use long screws and springs out of a bic click pen for the adjustable mounts, bottom left and right of the lense. Use the centre top EB pivot point as the fixed location.

Good luck.

Looks pretty good.
I'd probably do something with the door moulds, either fully colour code, or maybe black out the gray line to match the rest of the blackouts.

see if you can think of a way to match up where the rear bar meets the wheel arch, since it looks like its pushed out due to normally having the flares fitted.

otherwise, top job!
