Next went on the set of reverse lights that i sourced from Port Shepstone, these are very hard to find as loose spares.
Unfortunately we misplaced the good set of weather strips and chrome beading that goes with it, so had to make do and use another pair i had spare, the clips that hold them are very strong and can easily cause the beading to bend when fitting and removing.
After many phone calls i finally found someone who would install windows on old cars, the price was good and the guy was mobile so it worked well in my favour.
Due to only Universal rubbers being available, it was abit of work putting them in, buy a slight trimming of the rubber and the front and back glass went in like stock.
The temporary set of rims where starting to look very boring, so i finally got the tires swapped over onto the ensures, and after a few hours the wheels were mounted on the car.....
Center caps were impossible to source so i had to improvise. 
Things where finally starting to look up, the car was coming together nicely, beading mounting holes where drilled and trim clamps where fitted.
The side beading were mounted with gutter bolts as there are no universal clips available for these old fords.
The fuel tank has also been fitted and work will begin on the custom 6mm steel fuel lines before the engine goes in.
