Good question Max. I'm in the process of stripping and doing the bodywork to
get
it ready to paint. My car had multiple holes for mirrors and the mirrors on it
where something off an american car. I'm not sure what I want to put back on
it. I was considering the bullet mirrors. I'd like to see one and have someone
hold it on different places to see if I can find a location where I can see it.
Are you getting yours painted? I'll be looking for a shop to shoot the paint
once the body is finished.
