My car is back!

Finally after many months, my car is back on the road. Not finished, but certainly running and looking reasonable. What does everyone think?

Tomorrow I will be changing the front wheels for the 17s you can see on the rear.

Last one, the new interior looks a whole lot better than the old, red one. Thought I'd keep the red seat belts though, the blue ones were a little too expensive. Besides, I think they look quite sporty.

Hey Si looking good!!!

How old is the baby? I am driving my 18 month daughter around with me in the Zed too. Do you put her/him in the back?

Must be great to have her back on the road. Will look great with those rims!

Seriously, change the seatbelts. Whatever it costs, it's worth it not to have red seatbelts in a blue interior.

Not a big fan of those floor mats. And I agree with Firebird 383 on the seatbelts, it looks bad with red seatbelts in a blue interior.

They are a little small for my taste. Besides, I got the 17s at a good price and the tyres are no more expensive than the 15s.

A couple of people have said I should get rid of the red belts....starting to agree now. My mean side likes them though!

Congrats man! Glad to hear it... provides hope. The sled has been down for almost two months now and it will be at least three weeks before she is alive. I miss her.

Have fun!
