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:

Cheers Alic and that's uk spec too? Also does the strip pop out or is it cut in?

The front bumper is a single piece. The moustache is painted on.

Cheers, need to remember that when I get the respray. :wink:

We do like a bit of moustaction. Moustache-action!

Yup - any Zed where the '89-spec bumper is entirely body coloured, has had it repainted at some point....:wink:

Boxing day wash and dry :)

Looking good Mr Wilson.....:thumbup:

The water's in the rubber though, Joel. It could be resealed presumably, but the dealer he bought the car from was meant to sort this out (as well as the issue with the viscous fan) but all they've done is painted it!

 

Personally, I'd be taking it back to them as the full list of issues that he and I presented to them obviously hasn't been sorted....

 

I'll email them about it and hopefully get it removed and bootlid touched up at their cost, I don't think it would be worth the petrol cost to get it back down there for them to likely fob it off.

From ‘95(ish) onwards, the moustache was dropped and the front bumper was colour coded from build. Cost cutting?

Passed the MOT again this morning. Had a nightmare morning though! Had a flat battery when I went out to it, so had to nip to Halfords to get some jump leads... Then half way to the test station, there was snow everywhere... Not a fun drive.

 

Jet washed it when I got back as it was practically white:(

Looking smart. Personally I’d of wanted one of the factory spoilers but it’s looking very good.

The first time I did that job, I dropped the nut like 15 times. My girlfriend came out hearing the swearing and piped it straight on with her tiny hands, no wonder I married her :lol: the second time it went on as if there was no problem, no sure what was different.

It was full of water (so much so that the boot struts could not hold the boot up) and promoting rust, so we just got rid and decided that the lines were more important. Hence why the spats never went back on, and the sill painted black.

Fair enough. What happened to the spats?

Still have them. They were painted red in the previous paintjob and as the flex the paint cracks so the paint would have to be completely stripped back to the rubber.

 

Was going to put oem mudflaps on but couldn't find the whole set, and we gave up and just went without them.

Looking forward to seeing your dads z at a meet next year.

Cool, but whatsapps down for the mo :/

 

For me at least

It must of crashed as I sent it, it’s sent my end but not delivered. The message I sent my mother after you hasn’t sent.

Began swapping the steering wheel. Couldn't find a torx security bit larger than 45. Shops don't have bigger either.
