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:

I took my freshly cleaned Zed out of the garage and gave it a nice coat of Chemical Guys Jetseal - the first of many now Zeddy is home.....:thumbup:

 

And just got it back in the garage before the rain started....:lol:

Front of the Z looks great Richard. :thumbup:

Cheers Gary - the rest isn't too shabby either.....:wink:

You're learning Richard! Keep it out of the filth! :)

Looking tasty [emoji106]

I found this hiding behind the veilside side skirt on the opposite side to the one I repaired a few years ago............aaaaaarrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It now looks like this.......

Today, nothing as I was at work....

 

…..But I did not get online yesterday, as I was giving the Zed some more attention. I gave it a coat or two of Beading Marvellous Carnauba Wax, polished the tail pipes, installed the USB socket extension cable to the stereo and started refurbing the double-DIN radio surround.

 

I made the mistake of spraying it gloss black - not a great look TBH, so I'll be sanding it back and respraying it in satin black by next weekend...:lol:

Mid sheen finish is the way to go Richard, consider the bumper or trim black spray paints.

Good call Andy; thanks - I shall try that mate! Also, I'm guessing the bumper trim paints will also have a degree of flexibility in them, which will be handy when pulling the trim panel out on that odd occasion!

Richard, just get new ones whilst you still can!!!

 

They're not expensive and they're not going to be around for much longer. LHD have already gone NLA.

It wouldn’t be a double din then though. [emoji106]

Beat me to it JP....:wink:

 

My OEM one is still in very good condition - I kept it just in case I decided to return to single DIN. I currently have the Z-thirtytwo DD one, which has a slight crack due to the poor quality. I decided to give it a refurb, rather than spend £150 on a new one - which would probably crack again... :lol:

With 2 weeks off work I have been getting together some service items for a winter service. Battery flat again as I cant find my trickle charger :( I'm sure its hidding on me somewhere but if you want me I'm in the garage :hammer:

 

 

Erm, maybe? Lol..

Fairly sure i put it correctly but cant remember now, ill check tomorrow

5 hour round trip to Lincolnshire to pick up a pair of confetti pattern recaro SR2 seats , will need a complete refurb but a nice little project. Now do I try to put them back to factory spec or go leather mmmmm

I think you got yourself a bargain there mate

If you’re thinking about selling the tiered looking old seats in Zebedee let me know as I’d be interested in them. :wink:

Might be a bit late to mention this, but from experience I can tell you that spares will cost more than new Recaro Speed seats. :whistling:

Not replacing any foam?

Yep will be getting that done

Went out to see if mine needed charging after sitting in the garage for 6 months (blocked in by 20 tons of earth) but it started instantly! That's one hell of a battery. Hopefully can give it a clean tomorrow if I'm not too hungover
