This project has changed over the last 5 years. I finally got it on the road this summer and it's been great. I still have some things to finish but that can wait for the winter.

Dang, looks good!
Those headlights look good on there with the black surrounds!
You have any progress pics along the way? |

Very nice.. Those seats look like Miata seats nice fit.
I also got my DB on road this year also, 10 years in the making.

| Nice job! Yes they are Miata seats . I like your seats did you have them redone? or is that factory? I still have to finish my interior and my cage. I also put in seat heaters in those seats and its great. |

I had these seats custom upholstered for the tune of $2000 front and back.
I wanted to go with the seat heaters but decided not to. I just wanted to finish project. It was amazing how all the finishing items add up. I got a couple little things I want to do but like you it can wait until winter. |

| Looks great, I love the wheels. Ordinarily, I'm not a big fan of deviating from the typical buggy headlights, but you nailed it on this build. Have fun and drive it now, fix it when it gets cold! |
