    Hi

    I am Ben from Gloucester in England. I was lucky enough to meet Willie on his recent visit and have since joined up here.

    Here's a few photos of my car that I took today. It is still a work-in-progress. I have a set of Gen7 16" wheels to be powder coated and put on and a few other interior improvements to be done too...

    Your car is in beautiful shape! Welcome on the site :)
    The only thing that bugs me are the lights on the grill.

    The grille will be replaced as soon as I can source one. The lights were one of the previous owners horrible 'mods'...

    yeah he has the sweet roof (hood, in the queens english, lol). not like ours either.

    lots of bits from trinity on there but i'll let ben go over all of that. he has done a ton of work on her already.

    Yep... I have the same seats and similar colour scheme in my White Lightning, the seats are super comfy with great support.

    The only colour difference is all the silver bits..... mines black.

    Sweet vert by the way.

    I'll get some pictures of the roof stages up soon.

    New rad is sat in boot along with a new oil filter waiting to go to see Rich. Of to Iceland this weekend so on hold for a bit.

    It is Trinity's bonnet, and steering wheel (and centre dash console, and tax disc holder, and door sills, and soon to be door cards).

    The silver bits are slowly being got rid of, they were the previous owner's idea of something that might look nice...(?!?!?!?!!?)
