Nels MK 1 Zephyr V8 build. Discussing

That's mint, I look forward to the 2025 version. Please make it brown.

Back in the 80's in Sarf Lairndon we had the Harris brothers who built loads of Mk1 " Z Cars", mostly 302 powered. They mostly had that healthy rake until the pro street thing took off. & then they went all low & started dzus'ing the rear quarters on.

Mate had a 289 MK1 Consul they had a hand in, it was a proper sleeper.

Anyway, good luck with it

My old man has a 351 Cleveland motor he has had for ever that he planned to drop in his Mk1 Sedan.

I love Z cars so will follow along with interest!

Oh man that’s so cool, love small cars with big engines swapped in

Are you going to do a flip front on this one?

I'd like to see some in depth pictures of how you mouth it/make that work.

The coupe tail lights look timeless.

Thanks for the reply..funny thing is I never really liked the brown.

It ended up painted blue which I preferred.

I will be doing the tilt front but will look at splitting it on a 45 degree from the rear of the wheel arch up to the chrome trim line.

That way I hope to hide most of the split.

Like the custom rear lights. Will they be wired to flash sequentially to also function as indicators?
