Been having a lot of fun exploring our 1997 LC and making some changes that the previous owner had made now that the car passed California smog and has been registered. Put in both the oem cupholder and the 3d printing cup holder, so we're all set there. Had the oem wheels refinished to original color and powder coated and they look brand new - amazing (previous owner had painted them black). Been literally drenching the front seats in leatherique trying to get them to soften even a little, they're like cardboard. They look pretty good, but would be nice if they were a bit more comfortable. Got one of the 3rd row seatbelts repaired (new webbing). Put in an Alpine Apple Carplay double din deck with backup camera and remote lock/unlock. The trailer hitch is pretty rusted out, so have a new one on order and researching the best carriers for a Vespa scooter. Have a new front grille on order because the previous owner blacked that out too and when I took out the old one, noticed the a couple of the brackets holding on the passenger side headlight assembly are broken. See pictures. Needless to replace the whole headlight assembly, so curious if anyone has seen this before and if so, suggestion on best repair method? I could probably just mock up some custom brackets to go over the mounting points, but if I don't have to make something from scratch, would rather not.
