Going to start this thread for members to post up what they did each day to there zed. I will start with getting my MOT this morning. So what did you do today on your 300?:cool3:

Car now back togethe thanks hellraiser nice tip and no more petrol smell all injectors 12.4 put new set plugs in running fine fined out in the morning on my way to Coventry and just finished giving her a wash and leather

Yeah if we had more time he would have stomped back but more important to get it sorted

 

True :cool2: Your ZEd is stunning, deserves better. Will you be at Coventry? I thought you were unwell? Hope you are feeling better and can make it.

Accept it won't be ready for tomorrow and give time to getting it finished for Beaulieu on the 3rd August. That

gives you 16 days. Come up to Coventry and be part of the event, in any case you are a judge for the car of

show award.

 

Yup - what Andy said!!

They are usually very good but I will be going elsewhere now

 

I'd be down there tearing them new arseholes....:mad:

 

Good luck in getting it sorted Mandy - fortunately it looks like only surface scouring so should polish out:clover:

Feeling a lot better and will be there tomorrow if only for a few hours. My paint guys stayed at the garage an extra 2 hours to repair the damage.

Well, if yesterday counts, took a pic of the odometer

That's the 4th time I've seen the 6 figure tickover (km) in a Zed! :surrender:

Despite today's bad mood, I can take solace in the fact that I am very happy with my Z now. Few more pics of today's action. I offered up the bumper to see how the metallic grey moustache looked and I am very happy with it. I am also really happy with the new colour; you can't see the pearl in the photos, but it's so bright and fresh, the car looks like brand new. Certainly will do with all new roof trims and everything else I've bought for it over the past year.

 

I took these around midday, the whole back end is all back together now and spent some time making sure the bumper alignment was completely spot on as the panel gaps on this car have always been very very good. All the rubbers, metal retainers and door rubbers now refitted along with latches, catches, rear lights, parking sensor. Getting there.

fitted japspeed decat. all i have to do now clean the blood from the car and ready for tomorrow :)

Dam that Z is looking great Si even without all the parts on it.

Thanks Gary! I am really happy with its new look. The car looks so much cleaner and more fresh and it's a pretty decent job too. I just want it to look like brand new and with all the new trim I am fitting (roof trim mainly as I have had scuttle panels for a year now) and I'm plastic polishing and sealing my 99-spec lights and perspex panel, it should be a pretty clean Z. :)

 

I really want some new arch liners, but they're devilishly expensive. Mine are pretty good, but I want new!! :)

What he said...:bow:

What are you doing with your old trims Si? I can bet they are ten times better than mine if you want to flog them on lol

I promised them to Osty1, he was after some rear trims, told him he could have the lot, gratis. If he doesn't need them, you're welcome to them. I trashed one of the windscreen trims unfortunately.

No worries mate, let me know if he doesnt, i couldnt find my pass window trim to be painted, so having to leave both off for tomorrow, although disappointed it doesnt complete the look, im pleased with the overall theme.

Did this today

Followed by this

 

Luckily. Got a replacement hose. Car is 3 mins from home and halfords is 5 mins walk away. Lost the bloody hose clip nuts in the dark, so 10am halfords then see what the weather is saying.

Well done guys all looking great :)

 

Any updates si?

Cleaned the beast

 

That^^^^^^ looks bloody lovely mate !! The newly refurbed wheels really set it off. Nice!! :thumbup:

Cheers daffy! Still plenty of work left to do on her though :)

Well done guys all looking great :)

 

Any updates si?

 

Well I have the car back, but didn't get it in the garage until just after 1.30. :( They'd already started machine polishing it when I got there and I managed to wait for a break in the rain (not watertight). Right PITA! Pissed off I missed Coventry, but had running commentary and photos being sent via Whatsapp from Joelyp

I drove 304miles on one tank of fuel without the light coming on, bloody hell.

LOL - you were driving too slow Steve.....:wink:

 

I scraped into Warwick Services on the way home today - 312 miles from the last fill-up and the fuel light had been on since dropping Gary and Lee off at Brum Airport!!

I'm not surprised, bending the laws of pshyics uses a lot of fuel remember haha.

LOL - what are you insinuating mate....:wink:

Slowly building up the front end. Top tip for headlights if ever you have them out for whatever reason, a thorough clean with APC @ 1:1 dilution and a toothbrush and you get the below! Nothing worse than filthy stained headlight backings in an otherwise clean engine bay. Mine were clean before hand, but got them that bit better as they're quite visible with the bonnet up.

 

Not really that exciting!
