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:

Great job Ian, that’s a nice colour. [emoji106]

Love it Ian :thumbup1:

Most of the interior apart from the retrimmed panels went in today.

Would look nicer without that trim on the clocks, you're 10 years behind with that stuff. ;)

You're delirious Si. The uncut version really adds something. Similar to the oem cluster in the nsx

Lol. I was waiting for a load of mumma gags from that.

You bolted the steering wheel on upside down

First wash of 2018 and a nice day for a blat through some country lanes to take some pictures. [emoji41]

 

Barely even looked at mine! Weather's just been too foul, it's either been wet or salty or a miserable combination of the two. I'm itching to take it out and I can't wait until my new clutch and flywheel are fitted!

Mine would usually still be on lock down as there is still salt on the roads, but these are extenuating circumstances! Luckily the sun in shining and it’s nice and dry. The last thing I want is a wet mix of salt being thrown up the Zeds undercrackers!

I find that even when it is dry any salt that remains on the road is crushed into a fine powder by traffic and ends up as a thin film

on the car. It is the main reason I always wait for the roads to dry after it has rained properly beforehand and washed away the salt.

Any hint of salt I stay well away. It needs heavy rain to dissolve and wash it all away and a dry spell with no frosts. I hate it sat in the garage but I'd hate it even more to know that the body would turn into the ferrous ore from whence it came if I used it in salt and/or damp conditions, plus the debris on the roads in the winter. I've seen wwaaaayyyyy too many rotten Z32s to put my car through that torture.

Wouldn't an underside / wheel arch water jet blast after a drive sort that out though?

I agree. But today I have come to your field Andrew.

It'll get most of it off however the salt dust blows into all the inner flinches and cavities that a jet nozzle and even cavity wax won't reach....plus you're just then blasting pressured water into the areas where they're prone anyway.

 

Salt is the biggest killer of car bodies and on older cars with less protection and already a long time out in the environment, I won't take mine anywhere near a salt road, I'd sooner walk....on one leg....with no foot.

:lol::lol::lol:

 

I unfortunately have to drive mine occasionally in the bad weather, so a little shower afterwards is the best I can do unless you have any more recommendations? It's already been wax under sealed when purchased.

JP, surely your car didn't come out of the garage behind our Zed?

With Joels skills and access to all sorts of mystical components and gizmos he probably built a shrink ray gun....... is this correct Dr Gru?

My zed is a snug fit in my garage. Just enough room to get out (providing i stop eating left over Roses and Heroes)

Joel's garage is tiny, I don't know how he does it. My garage is pretty decent for a single garage, if I park the passenger side close to the wall, I can pretty much fully open the drivers door.
