Have you considered fixing that thing up? Maybe drop a few quid into it? Looks so plain.

J, that is a great looking car. I mean REALLY great. IMHO... everything tastefully done.

What's next on your list? I can't imagine.

Edit: Have you considering lowering it?

Have a great day.

I'm pretty much done really. I need to do something with the inside of my Ztop, reglue the rear of my soft top and go over things that I've already done that I think I can do better.

You've a lot of quid, labor, and love in that car and, if you're nearing the "finish line", what are you going to do when there's "nothing left to do" to it? lol

I've a ways to go with mine... you know... lights... bumper covers... skirts... etc. and everytime I look at it I'm thinking, "Watcha gonna do when there's nothing left to do?".

The "Think I can do better" may keep you busy... but I can't imagine.

My wife keeps telling me if I tooled on the house as much as I tool around on the car we'd have a nicer home. lol.

Cheers!

To defer that question a long long time, I just bought one that needed a lot of work. :-). It's fun bringing it back to life.
