Apparently sent him a pumpkin rather than the clear side marker and there is something wrong with the head light adjustment. Otherwise it's back together and done.

I found your problem on the headlight adjustment..."There ain't no headlight!" Nice front wheel BTW.

Seriously any "finished" pictures...not that I'm skeptical...but I'm curious.

Those are them. Not much point installing the headlight when a part is missing/broken behind it :P
