Breeze Gets a Facelift (Part 3)
And I’ve saved the biggest piece of work for last (well, almost last…): the addition of two rectangular tail lights and the replacement of the existing tail lights and running lights on the back.

Finally, this summer, when I got to Quebec and the Safari Condo factory, I would pickup an actual new screen/shade for it, and for the other three windows.
