Looks good, what did you use to recover them?

Some fabric I had in my garage. Just got enough to do both door cards and the back arches :)

fitted my hid kit at last only had it for 4 years ,,,about time i put it on i thought lol

Ages and ages ago, I got a boot spoiler off Gibster-TT. It was the lower half of a Bomex two-piece and I wanted it specifically because I wanted to change it a little bit and make it (in my opinion, anyway) a better shape to fit the Zed's rear end.

 

So I set about temporarily fixing it to the boot and then started extending the end sections so they curved down to the sides of the car. I knew in my mind that I wanted to avoid having any kind of "muffin-top" effect from the back that the OEM early spoiler suffered from. So here's what it looked like a couple of days ago:

 

 

 

 

Why am I posting this, you may wonder? Well, it was collected this morning and is now winging it's way to Body Mech for the boys there to finish it off, fit a brakelight and spray it black! :D Time's got away from me and my own work's building up so I decided to send my efforts off to them as they do superb work from what I've seen, and also I like to support the forum traders wherever possible. :)

 

It should be back with me at the end of May. Can't. Wait!!

Let her out for some fresh air,

 

 

then packed her up and sent her off to Tolman Motorsport to have her wheels aligned the traditional way.

 

Couldn't resist paying a visit...

 

I went for a drive to try and find a woodruff key to fit bottom pulley and couldn't find the right size.....

I also popped in to local graphic company and got some nice racing stripes to cover the peeling lacquer on the bonnet for Japfest....... lol

It will look mk1 escort mexico'ish....... lol

Is Funky Si going???

I know I will get some stick..........lol

But should look better than paint all peeling off and primer showing through as it looked like a giant bird poo........

Just do the whole bonnet mate, il be there to give you some stick if you find it necessary.

Ok, so today I learnt that having a complete set of fully adjustable DriftWorks rear suspension take an experienced race engineer 6 hours to do the alignment at a cost of just under £500 to the owner :shock:

 

You can imagine the conversation with the wife did not go well....:scared:

So the wife then 125 quid yer

Can't do that. She would find out some how. She always does.......:thumbdown:

Ouch! That's a really expensive adjustment, I hope it's night and day.

Hope that included corner weighting

Yes, corner weights were checked. I need more weight on the passenger side! Also got some good advice on how to cut more weight out...

I cleaned the zed like crazy today! Even broke out the clay bar! She looks perfect now, all clean for bhp show Monday.

 

 

Nice red Z Chris :thumbup1:

What was the overall weight?

T cut and polished the old girl for the bacon butty meet tomorrow, you just know a seagull is gonna take a huge dump on it while its parked on the drive. The club banner will be flying high tomorrow

Nice Z Chris!

 

Did exactly the same, a quick dust down and a drive. Car loved the cool evening this evening. Fantastic boost!

Someone seems to have robbed your wing mounted aerial??

I got rid of it!
