The car looked clean before you started, and it takes a brave man to modify a clean classic, but it looks like its going very well.
Still loving those smoothies.

yeah mitch it is really clean but i cant live with a standard car and dont see the point in modding a wreck as your always chasing rot etc, lots of people have expressed there horror in modding the zeph but to be honest mate i couldnt give 2 cherries what the original brigade think, i hope i do it justice when its done, cheers........
