The weather couldn't have been more perfect for the conversion.

This is how we all knew and loved my 1980 245 DL before:



Well, yesterday I spent a couple of hours converting it to the "classic" single headlight look:







As you can see, I haven't yet swapped hoods with the car I pulled this stuff from, but I wasn't able to do that alone. It results in that extra bulge where the old grill went.

I even tried it with the old grill, but I decided against this look:



Here's what's left of the car I pulled the stuff from (1976 245DL)... I'll have to make a trip to the junk yard to replace the stuff I yanked from it before I get it running.



Either way, I'm excited about the new look. It was surprisingly easy actually.

Soon, I'll put a pair of Cibie headlights on from IPD...
