ok guys and gals... its time to club together and help out a fellow zedder. Dan has put lots of time, effort and hard earned into his zed but seems to have hit a wall in the motivation levels putting him on the verge of throwing in the towel.

 

for this reason, we are going to dans to do whatever it takes to turn this build around, be it hands on or just moral support and motivational speeches!

 

the date is saturday october 9th... location is folley lane, hockley, essex, SS5 4SR... tea and snacks provided ;) get it in your diaries and i'll see you there.

 

:cool2:

Hi all thanks to everyone that is offering to help out with my SOS call to the wonderful Zed family :)

 

Im putting an action plan together of things that can be done with the parts i already have.

 

Ill update soon

 

Thanks Dan

Ok SOS team ive been racking my brains trying to remember what parts i have and havent got to complete parts of the car without having to then take it all off again to fit parts i havent got yet if that makes sense?

 

Here goes....

 

Engine.

1. Remove the engine from the bay and fit to engine stand.

2. Remove TT power steering pump and fit N/A pump with TT lightened pulley.

3. Remove drivers side down pipe so it can be modded to fit round the steering shaft.

4. Fit new wideband sensors.

5. Blank off pcv valve openings with core plugs.

6. Relocate battery to the boot.

7. Remove crank pulley as i cant remember if there is ment to be a spacer between the casing and the pulley or if i fitted it already ??

 

Electrical.

1. Locate ignition live and solder power wires and earthing points for L.C.D dash and guages.

2. Extend dash sensor wires and route to engine bay.

3. Solder newer type injector plugs to new loom.

4. Find power and earthing points for the in built Sat-nav.

5. Wire loom for traction control.

6. Wire in ignition button.

7. Wire L.E.D indicators.

8. Wire Granada mirrors to loom.

 

Suspension.

1. Fit new hub to passinger side with new hub nut.

2. Torque up suspension parts to correct settings.

3. Fit Hicas arms to lock out bar.

 

Other.

Remove petrol tank and fit new type fuel sensor.

 

I have plenty more that can be done but these are more priority at the moment!

 

Once the down pipe is modded the engine can be fitted and then everything in the bay can be plumbed in and installed ie. Rad, Intercooler etc etc. Which would be a great relief

 

I need to buy a few more parts as they are stopping me from completing major parts of the build like coilovers and brake pads once i have the coilovers the suspension set-up is complete and with the pads all the calipers can be fitted.

 

I realize not all the above will be able to be done on the 9th but any help would be great and im looking forward to meeting you all.

 

Thanks Dan

Hi guys,

 

Im sorry to say that i might have a problem for the 9th!! The reason being is we are 2 engineers down at work both being sacked Fri. This now means the call out rota at work has changed and guess what my week falls on the 9th...Great of all dates!!

 

Im trying to swap my week with someone else but if all fails im no doubt going to be called out all day Sat knowing my luck.

 

Im very greatful for everyone willing to help and now i feel like im letting you all down as your all giving up your free time.

Ill hopefully find out tomorrow if i can change dates if not im going to have to cancel and try another date if poss.

 

Sorry Dan

Sure one of us will pick you up from the station

More help the merrier bud im just peed off ive got to change the dates due to work :(

 

I still want this to go ahead if possible with the help of you guys i just need to arrange what dates best for us all otherwise it could be a wasted journey if i keep getting called out especially for you Mikey.

 

Thanks for all the club sprit it means alot ill keep you posted

 

Thanks Dan

hmmm might be able to make it then. Hey my downpipe fouls the steering shaft and i think its blowing :( im thinking of grinding the shaft down just so it misses, it only just touches.
