Usariemen found this pict above while searching info on his heb.
And it looks like this one below is the same Heb :shock: that is restored in France.
Some sources say that the french one is a clone or that they made some clones...I am not convinced.  page 20 kl.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

Always wanted to make a few little changes to the Zelensis.
Wish they looked like this. Anyone have a spare body?

well, JD you just put me on the right track.
Now I cant sleep this night.
The problem with the A pilar is that there is a block of wood in it. A rather thick one.
The B pillar is not that much of a problem...could consider vent windows from a 70s car.

You want a body....search for a time machine or get me enough money to pull a new mould of mine.

If you look close to the last pict you see an attempt of Raul to design a sort of coupe model with fastback lines. Hard to see on the small pict but the original is clearer but that is due to it being 5 mb big scan.

Correct john, He sold it a few years ago shortly after this meeting. He packed his gear and moved from his houst in Antwerp to the northsea coast in an appartment. The car is now not far from me situated with a car dealer-collector.

What I imagined was a windscreen frame from some other sports car - something with a chromed metal frame. A 356 Cabrio maybe? The Zelensis screen looks like a kit car part - too thick looking.

The big change that you maybe didn´t notice was adding some depth to the body. I suppose you could lower the sills to get a similar effect. It looks too thin as it is IMHO. Maybe three or four inches added to the body and also reshaping the tail so it doesn´t droop down like it does now. And the door also.

I like all the rest!

:d
