As Z32Bolt pointed out rightly, its high time I punched a post up here to show how our Z is progressing.

The interior is in mid change at the moment so not added pics of that which includes the 'pod mods'

Front bumper is currently sat on my back lawn awaiting repaint as I just molded in fog ducts.

The Exhaust is no longer the quad mongoose, but Mikey Beans big Oval tipped ones that look better.

 

I'll be back with interior pics and updates on other things when Ive finished them. I have TONS in mid project at the moment

That's a nice big list you have there, lots done already with lots more to do.

 

you should get some pics posted and if you resub that will take care of not being able to edit your own posts.

 

Caw, impatient eh? I did say pics were next :) ... and we'll see

Having witnessed this first hand on Sunday (more pictures in the Scarborough meet thread), I can say it is a stunning zed :bow:

 

 

 

And you forgot the angel eyes.....

Thanks for sharing Rose!!

 

It would be good to see some pics of your progress and joint hard work too,

Thanks, and thanks ... I'll edit my master list. One of the angel eyes need replacing as 4 LED's gone in them prematurely. Its just the nature of LED's though. One set will last a decade and another 10 minutes.

Did you make them yourself, I really want a go, but I need a cheep pair of headlights first to practice on.

Originally Phutumsh did that for us, and refubed all the workings, but then I saw a dead spider stuck in them. So I took them apart, resprayed them in chrome, and now will be doing them a second time lol

You should both be proud of what you've achieved with your Zed, especially as its all your own work. With a little help from Bean flicker obviously :tongue_smilie:

 

Certainly some unique touches. Keep the updates coming.

Can I put a pic of the rear window up yet?

 

:lol:

If your going jae I will bring you a pair of headlights for £20

 

Unfortunately I'm not, but I'm sure someone near me will be so I could sort sumat out. Thanks Mikey :biggrin:

Hahaha that has to be the largest sticker I've seen in a long time.

I'm going steve

 

 

 

:offtopic:

I'm going steve

 

Splendid, I'll slip you an extra £20 then when I come pic up this exhaust :tongue_smilie:

haha, I hadnt actually matched it up to JAE and headlights lol .... I'm dumb, that's ok lol

Cracking job there Rose, i wish my other half was practical to help me with the zed lol, i like the hazard switch re location, the OEM is probably the worst design on the zed and plan to get rid of my rickety switch soon and nice to see something different in the dash vent area.

Thanks. Hazard switch = Nightmare. I ended up drawing this diagram when I did it. Tons of wire and a few diodes later I got there in the end.
