Making the pop-up lights was probably one of my most frustrating challenges of the rebuild. The old lights under the perspex covers were ineffective as they were too low down and the perspex covers diffused the light, plus I wanted the look of pop-up lights. This is a job I did, then redid at least 3 times until I got to where I was happy with them (eventually). Some of the photos were extracted from old VHS tape so the quality is not great. Next I tried to make covers out of perspex, again another failure. I then tried to take a mold from them, with poor results. Finally I modified the main pop-up box with fibreglass filler, then used high density foam to shape the front covers. I laid fibreglass over this and sanded it down After lots of trial and error I was eventually happy with the end result

David SkinnerI have been living in Singapore since 1998 and I only get to go back to the UK to work on my kit car once or twice a year, so as you can imagine progress has been slow. This blog chronicles the various jobs I do on the car each trip Archives
