I sus'd the lights issue, took me ages.
Ended up following that 3rd wire all the way back to the rear indicators that weren't even attached to anything.
So started looking elsewhere. Found the fault in the steering column. There was a fault in the indicator switch

I have a leaking oil sender so was going to replace it with the oil temp sensor that I have but want to see if you can attach it to the oil light in the dash somehow.

Also painted the rear tail lights. Yeah or nah?

Its just held together with a shitty latch. Still thinking of what I'm going to do here.

Unsure what the aerial is off ... assumed another ute as it was fairly similar to the broken one I had already.

Yeah, I've basically loved the fins from day one. Love the ones you can get from the states with the deeper dish but way too expensive
