Jeff HPE Motorsport Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Looking good, i think it would look better if you made the rear door windows one piece, so it looked more like a 2 door, if thats what your trying to do,, just a suggestion...!!! Jeff Harris...

Z-Head Posted June 20, 2007 Report Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Darren, your Zephyr is coming on a treat , I also picked a Mk3 Zephyr on Sat and I also want to drop the Rover V8 as the 1.8 Zetec is lost in that bay, so I'm watching with notebook and pen, all the best.

I didn't realise how bloody long these things are, must be able to get it to go round corners without manning the lifeboats.........
