It's looking good!
Regarding the front lights, you should tackle this. The electricals on the Patrol are simple, an at the end the problem with the front indicators might be just rusted connectors, or a broken cable. You can do it!

Yeah, Grunty is certainly looking better.
What help do you need with the front lights?
The front indicator lenses should be the glass ones on a '66. Both front and rear indicator lenses were glass that year.

AGREE!
The Patrol is about the most simplified auto-wiring example there is - the perfect vehicle to learn all the electrical basics... and all you need to get started is a $4 test light - Go for it.
Your Patrol looks great, and you are moving through this project rapidly --

Cheers for the comment all,I pinched a brake line of my 72 G60 and the 66 now has brakes,but take 3 Full pumps of the petal to work,but i didnt bleed them very good to be honest,as i was low on brake fluid.
I will post more photos of new grunty this afternoon.
Also came across a 1963 G60 softop frame,which i might buy.
Also i need to get the Little patches of rust sorted,and then find some Correct Lenght MWB Rear seats,lights,shocks and then,its of for a roady

I know you hung up on rear MWB seats, but if your car never had them why ? just curious ?
I've got many things non original in my 73, but they are just as old as the truck. These items create a time line of the truck and add character. If my MWB never had seat, I wouldnt be putting them in.

How can you tell that it never had rear seats ? Its got seval holes in the same spot on either side of the rear and they look in the same vicinaty as where i seen in pictures where the seats mount

and no other of my g60's have then holes.
Someone recently told me my G60 was not an Original softop, Soon proved the evidence it was an original Softop
