I forgot to add that in the 1st pic the girl is a very important accessory to make the look work! :mrgreen:

Tail lights are from early bay or late split bus.

There is already a lot of metal work needed. The previous owner had alredy changed the original tail lights.

Yep, see it as well - think way to much work for the benefit of small lights. I got two low lights (small tails lights how you want) look cool but have to keep an eye out if we on the road at night (and even in the day) as they arent big enough for the new (read: moronic) style drivers - they need the huge LED things and a hammer on their sunvisor to let them know when the car in front in slowing down
Camping is cheaper than therapy.

You need to speak to the ACVWSA expert on this topic, Dutch.
