ZX Resto

Post by Saraphee »

For those of you who have helped and watched my struggles to resurrect a ZX in Northern Thailand, may I show you the results of it's sojourn in the body shop?
The pics are taken at the premises of my mechanic friend who does all my maintenance.
The car was stripped down to bare metal, all dings removed, all panels straightened and re-aligned. Any parts that could not be fettled were replaced, such as the windscreen surround and grill panel.
The car is finished in the original Quartz EYC, or as near to it as our chaps could get.
Now I just have to replace the side flashers and one front fog light.
When more cash comes to hand it will then be off to the upholsterer for new carpets and seats/steering wheel refitted in Black & Red leather.
Hope you like it......................
