My wife said I needed a hobby.....so imagine my surprise when I showed her a picture of a kit car, and said "Let me build this.."......and she said "I think that's a great idea!" So this blog is a chronicle of my efforts to piece together a Birkin S3 Clubman, and a tribute to my wife's patience and understanding.

Headlights
I read another build diary at the start of my build that said the headlights were hard to fit, and that it was far easier with the struts removed. Well that blog was right. It is nearly impossible to route the cables through the mounts and it is impossible to route the cable on the inside of the strut mount, with the strut in place. So I dropped out the top strut bolts, and was able to get my fingers up inside the mount to finger tighten the nuts. The light mounts had to be machined down on a lathe by 15mm in order to expose enough thread. So for now they are finger tight and I can finish off the wiring. But I will need to remove the entire strut on both sides in order to properly tighten the mounts, and to finish off the alignment.
