That's about all really. All of it completed a couple of months ago, so you can see my first 10 months of ownership were quite intense.

I have to say though the car has been an absolute pleasure to own and drive, it's only fault so far has been the PTU packing up, oh and the squeaky bloody brakes lol.

Doesn't look a lot when written down like that but as owners yourselves i'm sure you can empaphise with the amount of work gone into it.

I have all the parts for a manual conversion to fit to the car, and this will be done in due course, but for now i am just enjoying driving it and revelling in the admiring glances and comments it attracts from all walks of life.

thats good going mate i find its the jobs that i dont think will take much to do that usually take ages

Well done matey, and the car shows the hardwork thats been put into it, (good color as well if i do say so my self)

 

cant wait till my body work is finished and looks nice and shiny like yours does. we will have to have a AH3 mini meet, me you and andy isherwood, once mine is done.

This is one of the nicest, cleanest examples i have seen of a Zed, a credit to you Dave.

You have a great zed mate and a real credit to you. Enjoy the drive nothing puts a smile on your face like a great looking, driving zed:thumbup:

Thanks guys. Just got back from what you might describe as a 'spirited' drive. Absolutely fantastic and I'm even forming a soft spot for the auto. Never thought it would grow on me but it is. To hell with fuel prices, awesome drive in an awesome car. Love it.

loads done in a little amout of time :cool3:

Thanks Dave. I thought so too, still loads to do though. Considering going '99 spec front and rear at the moment. Or fog ducts and '89 rear. Thoughts?

No, i'm still a newbie buddy. Just worked my nuts off and saved like a loon to pay for a year of Slicktop madness. :tt1:

Thanks a lot Daz. Still a work in progress, but comments like that make it all worthwhile. Very much appreciated :cool2:

Very inspiring Daf, and an award winning zed u got matey.... :thumbup:

 

Alz.

It's cars like yours that are inspiring Alanz. Mine is now a nice example but still so much to do. Might have met an interior guy, but it's when I start under the bonnet the holidays will have to stop. It doesn't help having Andy Ish as my closest forum buddy. That engine bay :sweatdrop::blush:

Cars a credit to you mate :thumbup: Keep up the good work.
