By now I was hoping to have had the full interior back in the Z but as always I have again had to change my plans due to unforseen circumstances! The stereo installer was called this week for jury duty and apart from some soundproofing being fitted it hasn't been progressed.

 

So I took the Z away this evening and gave it to a detailing company to give it a good going over! He has said he will be working on it until Friday evening and shall be doing a complete write up on it for a detailing forum. He will be taking about 300 photos as he goes comparing before and after. He is really enthusiastic and loves working on older cars and really likes the Z. I will post up some pictures when I get them from him on Fri.

 

It will then be back to the stereo place this weekend to get the interior back in before fitting the emerald ecu and hopefully getting John Dixon to cast his eye over it before getting it mapped on 11th at Emerald.

 

Really hoping that by the end of August everything should be pretty much finished and I will be able to just drive her!!

Sounds amazing bazz. I'll be interested to see the pics. Ive always fancied getting a retailer to give the car a good once over but have never found anyone this side of the border.

 

Whats your plans with the sound system?

Intriguing...looking forward to the pics. :cool:

I like your plans Bazz and cant wait for the pic's

Cant wait to see this Bazz, it's been a long time in the making :)

Whats your plans with the sound system?

 

I am going to be using a pioneer avic-f700bt head unit and 2 JL amps, A HD600 and an HD750. We were going to go with focal speakers in the front and a thin JL Sub but Rockford Fosgate has just brought out a thinline Sub which has got great reviews so the installer is putting in 2 of the 12" ones in the boot and Rockford Fosgate or focals in the front depending which sounds best.

 

The install is going to be very subtle and I gave the brief that I want to be able to use the boot as normal hence the shallow subs utilising the dead space below the flooring. The focus is on the sound quality as I don't care about how loud it is as long as it sounds good!

Got an update earlier today that the guys worked till 5am this morning and had finished the wheels, bonnet and left side!!! just got a text to say they were about to start refining the paint and tomorrow they are doing the waxing, glass and tyres. Sounds like a serious amount of work has been going on!

 

Collecting it tomorrow evening to go back to the stereo shop. Hope it is good weather and not pissing down with rain!

 

Will get some piccies up as soon as I can!
