Looking really good lee, Keep up the super work :pint:

I,ve just seen this thread , your making a cracking job there bud :thumbup::thumbup:

Are you a panel guy by any chance cos i,ve seen worse welding and repairs done by so called fully skilled panelbeaters i,ve worked with in the past ??

It takes time to get it how you want it but it,ll be well worth it in the end , i,m on the rebuild stage now but it,s took over a year to get there :hyper:

Keep the pics coming bud :thumbup1:

But i have always liked doing body work, i just learnt me self and got tips of other people, all takes time but i hav a lack of it so i go in the garage at night times till silly hours in the morning. But its well worth it. Lov the zed they r fab. If u need help mate just let me know i will send u my phone number. Chat anytime.

with a bit of luck my mate is going to come round on saturday night and help me with to rub down the zed! ane to keep the wife happy, i am going to get ther a bottle of cheap wine and a dvd. lol

Lets just hope i am not to f#*t to go in the garage this week end to finish abit more on the zed

sorry i have brought a new caravan and i have been pissing around in that every weekend. but i am going to make an effort soon i hope on the zed.

hi to all, if ur following this thread dont worrie i hav not give up on the car, i have not posted anything for ages. well i have finished all the welding, there was more than i thought. also i have rubbed, prept the engine bay and painted it.

the plan is! now that the engine bay is painted i can get the wiring loom in, then the engine and dash etc. cus with winter is on the way so i carnt paint the body. so if i put all the engine back in it give me something to do over the winter. also if i scratch or mark the body it dus not matter as its not painted. you know what i mean.

 

sorry about the photo quality.
