Jim’s Highly Modified NC1

Cracking looking car Jim and some impressive mods and styling 

Whit woo! :wink: That’s a lovely looking motor! Keep her shiny! :smiley:

love the headlights. Did you do them yourself?

Headlights modified by previous owner

 

That looks gorgeous. Absolutely love the front. How did you paint the Mazda emblem? I used Plasti-Dip for mine and the finish is… questionable 

Thanks
