Ok, the joy of part finished projects! I have a couple of H4 lens. I have some mystery chunky black plastic circles that don’t seem to relate the headlamp mounts or the lights :-)

and have a big spring clip at the top.

I think I need to order up a sealed beam to H4 conversion kit and the jobs a good un.

Did a couple of hours work tonight, split all the head lamp fittings out and tossed them in the laterz pile.

Then took the top and bottom mount and had a play. Cleco’d the top one in. Using the grill brackets it seems the holes on the bottom one are a full 10mm out… I’ve ordered a nut sert tool. We’ll put nuts in the right places over the weekend….

No proper work on it today… but the livery did break cover for a try on.

I hate saying this but when you are setting your gaps and fits you have established that the frame is level in both directions and not tweaked anywhere? Only I had a terrano many years ago that cracked it's windscreen when I collected it because it was set in with the car on uneven ground and caused stress in the window opening. It's just talk of the shell being 10mm out in places seems like a lot.

Appreciate the thoughts, I’ll be back on the panels in a coupla weeks.
I reckon the chassis is straight. I’ll show the panel issues once I’ve starting to finalise locations. Luckily I’ve got some tired old panels, so I can compare the fitting locations. The new ones aint great!
