Hmmm what to do with them.
Had a look at the seat belt anchor bolt (that MGR no longer fitted a cover to post PD) and thought it might fit.
So, a couple of minutes with a hack saw and I now have bling seat belt bolts.

They look good, soon to be copied, take out a patent,then £3.99 a pair.

Had a nice faff swapping a set of Osram 4000k sidelights in. Whoever designed the rear of the light units deserves to be shot.

Still, I got there in the end and it looks a lot better for it.

Spent the day bleeding my clutch master cylinder on its own then the slave cylinder. Happy to see my clutch is working perfectly with no leaks and as light as I've felt. I'll say this is how my 75's clutch felt after replacing all hydraulics to the metal slave and Tazu mk1 master cylinder.

This has made the car feel much better to drive, smoother etc. I can only recommend you try removing the piston of the master cylinder and cleaning it all out, flushing etc if you are having issues before going all out replacing everything.

Finally sorted the rattles on the front doors with the help of 2 Slushy straws, she is now cleaned, hoovered and hopefully ready for my wife and daughters to travel to deepest Lincolnshire in the morning

I also painted a spare dash that I had lying around, strange request from number 1 child for it to be painted like the night sky though

This was the best I could come up with

I like this idea. I had something like this in mind for my own. Inspired by THIS

Some blue overhead LEDs will really set that off perfectly

The blue led upgrade is on the cards when Pete starts trading again

I like your dash, mine was just done with a black base coat and some chrome silver sprayed sparingly over the top

I dont mean the dash LEDs, blue 501 LEDs for the interior lights, to give the blue glow to the black for the night sky look
