Perhaps we should chat else where then.
I haven't explored the features of laser 917.net yet,
I'm sure theres allot for me to find there.
PM me of some finds and I'll jump as soon as I find the PMs.

On Price I saw an Aztec 7 a few years back, owners name
is Leon. What was so awesome about this car is the
custom interior he had done in it. I traded a few emails
with him back then and he told me that a lady did it for
him. I boacked at the price of the job though.

Never the less, this is exactly the style I love and
would like to have done in my car once I have one.

I love the colors used in this interior, makes it look
soooo much better then a normal kit.

Where you at Paul?
Have you anything to say about this interior?
I saw a few new ones for sale on laser917 but
nothing close by and nothing near finished.

I know that car,
The interior is about the nicest I have ever seen in a grass roots kit car,
In fact it trumps any custom vette interior I have seen in a long time,

Problem is I don't like the look of the Aztec 7
It is very loosely based on a bertone carabo

The 7's windscreen is from a lambo Miura which means if you can find the glass it costs more than the car is ever worth,

In the early 90's I decided I must have a 7 , I went looking, there were way fewer than 200 made and all where pulled green from the molds which lead to warping and poorer fit than other Fiberfab cars,
So an hour away in a field is a 7


Not this one but close,
The sides are flat, no taper up or down, from wheel to wheel, from the lower edge of the window just a straight drop down and very little roll under, It's really hard for pictures to show how horrible this car looks in person,
I went from being obsessed in love with the car in pictures to down right hating it in person,

Here is a 7 set up to go fast,

Ohh Noooo, don't get me wrong... I don't like the car at all!
I do like the fine workmanship of the very talented person
who stitched that interior together though. Very Nice indeed.

That's the caliber of quality interior and color scheme I'd
like in my ride. That's all I was pointing out.

The poor 7 could have been so very sweet, but sadly it just didnt hit that mark, I really was sad when I saw it in person,

The biggest con of the Laser is how very radical it is,
I have a friend who went to a cruise and a Lambo had all the people swarming around it, he pulls in with the Laser and the people leave the Lambo to look at the Laser, the Lambo fellow gets pissed and does the whole Thats just a cheap vw kit car rotine,
Then what is priceless to me is a kid replies yea, but it "looks" cooler than your car.

To get an interior as nice as the 7 above I too would have to pay someone with the talent to do it,
