Talking Before and After....

Well, it's been almost 1 yr (it will be this Friday) since I took delivery of my gorgeous Brickyard Z. With before and after pics of the engine bay soon to come (just waiting on a sunny day), I thought it would be neat to post some pics of how my car looked when I took delivery of it vs. today.

Tried to get the same angles, but lighting is not exactly the same. Ah, what a difference a year makes!


Then....

(obviously, judging by the color of the grass, I put too much attention on the car and not enough on my lawn! )

Andy--you're car looks VERY impressive--then and now. Bonz should be proud of you and your Zaino studies.

Your car looks hot. You need to post some more pics with different angles.

Very, very nice.... and a very impressive selection of mods over the past 1 year.

Nothing better than seeing a well-loved Z !

From the reflection of pic#1 and pic#2, I think you've gained some weight. 1 yr of happy time with the Z....I can understand.

Mow the d*mn lawn!!

Actually, if you look at the first set of pics, both your and your neighbor's grass across the street look better in this year's pic!
