I posted at the start of this month i had bought a SWB N/a with a naff engine and was planning on doing a TT swap among other things and general tinkery stuffs.... ( BTW i bought this with a Big end Bearing gone.....)

 

Well i started to strip her down and upon removing the R/h Wing i found this abomination!

 

 

Then obviously having to remove the engine and planning on stripping the underside i start removing the engine beginning with the Fluids and find a certain something peeping out the sump! (the dipstick i knew about when buying the car and the look on the owners face when i asked him where the rest of it was was priceless)

 

 

 

 

This next one isnt detrimental but i thought, at least I've gained something so far from buying this.....

 

 

 

Now for my favorite surprise ive had yet...

 

L/H Sill

 

 

R/H Sill

 

its going to be awesome once built;)

 

cheers bud, it will certainly be different.

Small update

 

I finally unwrapped Dave (carmads) epic goodies!

 

 

 

 

Here is my little beauty!

 

 

 

 

 

And finally...................ITS ON WHEELS :euro:

 

 

 

 

 

I have loads more things to put on this thread but i just get engrossed with the job and forget to take pics....

 

But other updates are....

 

MantaV8 Steering bush fitted,

My own custom braided Brake lines are all in and ready to rock,

My own custom powered steering lines from the rack to the pump in the boot are in and ready,

Gave it a clean as there was a crypt like layer of dust on it,

Realized my front work equips wont clear the evo brembo calipers so i need to space them by 25mm....

Oh and the perspex strip that everyone has trouble with fitting, i was going to post a pic of that being taken off in once piece as so many people are having trouble with it.....

 

 

.....Then i stepped on it days later.

Great work Rick and thanks for the updates keep them coming.

oh my god i wont hear the end of this now....

 

just for the record, my names Adam, but lee dent, ian and bloody keith call me rick, as i apparently look like rick astley.....

Cheers though gary :)

haha i think id prefer that in all honesty, i can think of worse nicknames though!

 

yeah i found that out as i was trying to stick the equips on and my new calipers and the stock zed calipers didnt like it. Looks like my offsets are going to be extremely aggressive now...

 

I wasnt going to point out that was lee haha, however hopefully you will now get your head bitten off and not me :D

Take no notice of Rick Gary, his name is Rick not Adam.....pmsl.....Don't know why he prefers to be called Adam really.

Ian has to take the blame for lees hair falling out with all the Zeds he keeps sending him :lol:

Nice work though Adam, looking forward to seeing this one finished. What's your plans? You selling her on or gona be together forever?

Together forever :wub:

 

in all honesty i was going to track it, but the more i do to it the less i want to track it so might just be a play thing and ill get a TT to track..

 

as i said before its got a long way to go, the wish list is as follows :-

 

Wire in the Link and get this thing started!

Get Noz to make it howl

Await Tom's (tomfromthenorth) verdict on the stillen Arbs.

Liaise with Body Mech to get my sills welded, arches worked on for my alloys. Dents pulled and a colour change ;)

Get mondo and his handy work in the interior.

 

 

A bit vague but thats briefly what my plans are..

Don't sell her, in fact I think you need to promise us right now that you're never gonna give her up, never gonna let her down, never gonna turn around and desert her for a land rover like many other zedders seem to have done over the years!
