My zed has gone through a total makeover, since sorning it in March, I removed bits that i just wasnt happy wit.

The skirt were the main problem, as they were hiding all manner of issues, lots of rot. after removing all the crud it was apparent the skirts had caused most of it. So any free time i could get, i would do a bit more, to make it all good. Making new panels from the inside out.

Next was the high level wings west spoiler, once i got if off and repaired the back end, it has a brand new fibreglass OEM spoiler and brake light.

Then the rear arches were a concern, slight bubbling on the drivers side, removed all the dead metal, and repaired.

The passengers is too far gone, but i have a replacement arch to sort it.

Not much issues underneath, but a couple of holes that need sorting.

The time has now come for my welder to get involved. I have the cash waiting, but as soon as we get a dry day, he will be doing the lot, welding up the new sills and returns, arches and the floor.

He is very good at what he does, but because of this he is dam hard to get a free day

I have been doing loads to the engine, and its 100% spot on.

 

Once the welding is done it will go for MOT, then we are back in business.

 

just to give an idea of where i am.

Nice to see someone else tackling the dreaded tin worm.

I have not long done the same to mine, it took a while but was well worth the wait. I would love to see your progress as you go.

Also, having just done mine, if there are any questions you might have, feel free to ask.

I am no expert but did learn a lot as I went.

Thanks mate, i would rather try and save another zed, too many being binned due to rust. Mine isnt bad as i think ive caught it earlier enough, but will be nice to know she will last a few more years.

nice work mate, good to see another being saved

 

wish i had cash and room for a zed, really fancy one but dont and wont lose the M3 for one

Great work Stu....looking good, and another Zed saved from the big scrap yard in the sky.

Great effort Stu,

 

Whats happening with the skirts then? Are they staying off or are you putting them back on once everything is sorted?

 

Well done though - M reg black Zeds are unofficially THE best Zeds out there. Definitely!

Great work Stu keep it up mate its getting there.

Damnnnn.

 

I have never seen rot like that in a Z32 ever. thats a damn big job ya got there!

 

It looks so nice from the outside (on most of it) hiding a multitude of sins.

 

At least ya dealing to it. keep it up. :cool3:
