Good luck with the Kia Sportage door seals

This is the only place I could find with the LH seal (which can be used on either side of a Zed) :

They seem to have more than 5 in stock and do PayPal

I got used seals from a wrecker and they were perfect

Seriously a Epic build, shame its in black and white.

Hopefully the cameras in the year 2030 will have colour functionality

At C.A.R you don’t just get a build…you get a bit of showmanship too…I have been drip fed a few obscure colour photos and it is pretty special…the shine of the metalwork and the colour doesn’t really come across in the black and white either. Stay tuned for the big reveal coming soon.

You have no idea mate…this 3 year journey is getting to the pointy end. Kids aren’t this excited at Xmas.

With any luck we should have professional photos soon, which will hopefully wet everybody’s beak. We just have to wait for the carpet (it’s running late) and a few other misc parts to arrive from the states. After that we should be just about there.
