looks really good, do you do it yourself?

Yeah it was going to be far too expensive to send off to an upholsterer so I gave it a crack myself. Some 4 way stretch vinyl, contact adhesive and a lot of patience!!!

Hi, I have a 75 Avenger (LAM839), failed WOF on headlights.  I replaced 1 with a Lucas a couple of WOF's ago, but now the other one has failed.  Sick of trying to source original parts, does anyone know if there is a modern swap out you can get for these?  The measurements are approx 180 x 120 rectangle.  Hubby thought he'd read a comment from someone saying there was a toyota hilux one that could be subbed?  Any help appreciated, thanks. 

Toyota one's fit in the brackets but the glass side is slightly larger and avenger bracket doesn't fit the light. I have some New old stock ones that take a bulb, way better than sealed units.

A couple of offcuts of vinyl from the dash went to good use in making a centre consul.
