Well i went over to Andys again today and guess what....

 

Not only were the dulcet tones of Shane Ward wafting out of his open window when i arrived, but it was gently peeing down.

 

We had the pleasure of Daffy turning up with his mate Dave who did me a great deal and took my wings west bumper off in a van to be painted.

 

Anyway that said we muddled on in our silly water proofs..... and i am very pleased to say that following a few head scratching moments I now finally have a manual zed!!

 

I cannot say how happy i am, it has been a long road due to random piss up, late starts, far too much rain, snow and not enough light... BUT we bloody did it.

 

I cannot thank people enough for helping out with advice, sending vital parts, turning up and getting stuck in and for everyones general support.

 

I do have a load of pics and i will be writing a little journal of the whole experience, including the names of those who went out of their way to help me out (you lot know who you are, and soon everyone will know who you are) but i just wanted to post the fact that we are now done!!

 

Thank you Mr Isherward - you sir are a little legend!

Im really pleased for you Paul, a long time coming, but its done :clap:

Nice one Paul. That's great news. Fair play to you and Wendy, clear to see you've bonded and can I just say, you make a lovely couple. :innocent:

My mate is called Dan btw. I dropped your bumper off at his bodyshop when we left Andy's. Need you to get us the paint code again, we both forgot it. Oooops!

thank god for that! :D

glad you got it finished in the end

I been trying to get hold of you bud... i was getting worried... i thought that the taxi driver had you locked up in a little box or something. :helpsmilie:

 

I too am pleased mate, real sense of achievement.

Tell every one about what you did to that guy in the gimp suit at gay pride........

PMSL, forgot about that. What a story to hear from someone you've only just met!! Go on Pabs, tell 'em.....

thank god for that! :D

glad you got it finished in the end

 

You were right about the egg shaped hole on the pedal arm - hardened steel collar was missing!
