Can I use these for anything?

The little triangle windows, and the side mirrors.

I _really_ like the little windows, but have no idea if they could be used. Maybe in combination with a soft top?

I like the mirrors too.

Kool opening quarterlights....Why are they called quarterlights?

I didn't know they were!

Window segments are often called "lights" in homes. windows with 4 panes are 4-lights.

But can I use them for anything? The little chrome lock mechanisms on the inside of the windows are very nice looking. It seems a shame to not use all the chrome bits I can.

can't see a use for the windows on a Seven, but the mirrors look useful.

perhaps you could angle the screen on your seven so that you can pannel in the quaterlights at the sides. It might reduce the buffeting slightly.

No idea, they are called vent windows here . Very common on N. Ameri cars from 1950 to the late 70s.

Maybe use them backwards in a soft top behind the door?

You could use the quarter lights as wind deflectors either side of the windscreen? not sure the mechanism would help though.
