after blowing up gearbox number 3 i realised that ford rwd 4 speed gearboxes are made from some sort of chocolate material. so I'm opting for some loverly 5 speed transmission.

Sorry. I cannot possibly voice an opinion on the lights as I am too distracted by the WTF! factor of the car supports in the first pic.... What IS that exactly? Concrete? Elephant poo's? I sincerely hope that you have something between that abrasive surface & the underside of your car... are axle-stands REALLY too expensive!

they are logs, a lot more supportive than axle stands. mainly because the drive is half gravel, and where the jacking points are located it means the stands sit half on half off the slabs, which is very dangerous.
trust me, the car is solid as a rock ;D ;D
and theres chocs under them and the handbrake is full on and wont need to come off for the work I'm doing

Prefer it without TBH I think you have to be careful about confusing styles Big arches, quarter Bumpers Cibies Chrome bumpers, chrome trim, euro-ish style doesnt really suit it TBH Having said that some Chrome period spots might work quite well ?

I guess by the plates & crystal clear lights that you're aiming for the euro look? If that's the case then bin those lights, they don't look right! If you were goin more for a rally feel then go for it, but if that was the case then you'd have a 2 door!!
