Working on the rear lights again. Rubbed down the driver's side lens, added a couple coats of red and one of clear.

Passenger side I just made a start on. Rubbed it down and painted a couple coats on but the lacquer is still finding the cracks.

Keyed down and hopefully put the last coat of red on.
If that sets properly then I'll put clear coat, flat that back, cut, polish and wax it like the other one and it should be well enough.

All polished and fitted in place. It's a five-footer but that matches the rest of the car really...

So are there any driving restrictions where you are?
It'd be an absolute pisser to finish this and then not be able to drive it because of CV.

Yeah, can't leave the state and you're not allowed to go places unless you've got good reason to.
Not an absolute lockdown but just tooling about is not recommended. However, it would be insured as a regular use car so would allow me to use it to get places I needed to if required.

How does it work there with insurance and registration and stuff, im assuming you must be able to get club/ historic registration or something that just entities you to use it occasionally as you mention is going to be insured as a normal car so you can use it normally?
Is everything hideously expensive due to potential litigation costs?
