Picked up the Zed from Custom Exotics tonight. It's been there for just over a week to get the following:

 

rust repair - rear quarters and sills

fabricate brake ducting and repair front skirt (smashed them up on a kerb!)

fit front fog light ducts (courtesy of carmad)

fit skirts and door fillers (again a carmad production, cheers to Kurt for sorting me out with these!)

 

Great great bunch of guys down there, very very friendly and fantastic comms! Haven't had a chance to look the car over in daylight yet but I'm chuffed to bits! Wasn't too sure whether the skirts would suit but really do like them now they're on!

 

Could only grab a few dodgy mobile pics in the dark but more to come!

 

What do you guys think?

 

 

 

Lookin sweeeeet!!!! Nice front bumper u have there what is it?

Lovin it mate. One thing though. I'd have kept the swage line on the back bumper. It looks too plain without it.

It's the original SE Nissan kit mate. They styled the front, rear and bonnet vent when they worked on the car back when it was owned by a previous owner. They modded it (free labour) provided they could use it at shows...or so the story goes.

 

So far I've found a Max Power dvd it featured in bt nothing more ;-(

 

Still...i love it so had to repair as didn't want to replace...bloody fibreglass! lol..

 

Cheers for the comments! Feel like I haven't seen it in ages so just sex wee'd when I saw it tonight!! lol

Cheers dude. The rear bumper never had the swage unfortunately...it is one of those niggly things though as I had it running down the side and front but never at the back...kind of unbalanced. Hopefully the skirts have lessened it a bit though?

looking fantastic Vig, i bet you're chuffed to bits :duffer:

i like the built in mudflap look on your rear bumper, i love a car with good flaps, just not been able to find any that suit this car! :clap:

Cheers bud..really am!! Looks and feels like a (sort of) brand new car! :balloon:

Cheers dude. They're really good but stonechip can be quite bad exposing the FG underneath when all the paint gets chipped away! And it can be pretty noisy but in terms of looks..i love them!

Your zed is looking very nice mate they did a great job on it:thumbup: Take care of it in the snow now.

Looks great mate. I like the way the fog light ducts look with that front bumper. :)

Stunning mate looks awsome

Ain't they top guys!!! What did you think of their setup?

Very nice mate.

 

Was Crazy Eddie the previous owner?

Very nice mate.

 

Was Crazy Eddie the previous owner?

 

Not sure what his name was mate. It wasn;t the guy before me but may have been the guy before that...he bought it new in the UK and worked with SE.

Really friendly guys mate, cheers for the recommendation! Great but simple setup too!

 

The 300zx's outnumbered any other cars in there...inc mine there was 3 of them! Ant300s one was in there looking very very sweet indeed!

Thanks for the comments guys!

 

I know overall it's far from perfect/new but it's not looked this good since I've had itand with the new clutch and flywheel it drives superbly...think this is the best condition it's been in since I've bought it so is an absolute joy to drive!

 

I'll get some more pics up over the Xmas weekend ;-)

 

Now about that snow...:sweatdrop:

Glad youve found your love for it again mate, i know it can be frustrating, when things arent how you want them to be.

I though it always looked smart, but even better now.

 

 

Enjoy!

There was a guy called Grant, who had a red Z that SE looked after. he had that from new, but it didn't have any body kit. Don't think Crazy Eddie had his from new, but there were quite a few red ones around SE at that time.

Looks very good mate - I can see why you're pleased with it!!

 

Richard:cool2:

Very nice mate.

 

Was Crazy Eddie the previous owner?

 

Nope. I own that one.

Nope. I own that one.

 

lol..there ya go then eh! I have no idea what the guy was called...guess a query with dvla should turn up something though.

 

From what I've been told, the guy bought it from new and was modding it but then met SE Nissan and went into the agreement with them til he sold it to the guy I bought it off...

Didn't get a chance to see it finished. Look forward to seeing more pictures. But from the pictures you put up it is looking very nice.

 

Thanks for the comment mate and managed to get a picture of all 3 :thumbup:
