What a beauty!  One of the best KZ's ever made, in my opinion.

No "before" pictures. But to be honest, it was in pretty good condition when I bought it (paid accordingly...).
I mainly deeply cleaned it, repaired some non working items and replaced most of the wearables.
I'll possibly sell it next summer...
