Hi guys,

 

Was bored at work so I thought I'd make a thread from start to finish of how I bought my zed shell from Sussex stu till now.

I know I have a couple of threads with photos of respray and another with the build but thought I'd put all the pictures so to try and see how it came along...

 

I still aint finished so I will just update it has I go along...

 

This is how it looked when I 1st got it

 

The engine bay

 

I took it back to metal etch primed then seam sealer then 2k primer

 

 

 

 

 

Then some 2k white

 

 

 

 

 

The underneath was stripped of all running gear the tank etc and stone chipped,

 

 

 

 

Then I moved on to the outside

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we used 2k primer on the car

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No stone chip on bumper

 

 

 

Car was resprayed in suzuka grey pearl

 

 

Version r skirts and 99spec bumper

 

 

 

Just finished putting all looms, bolts and bits in the engine bay,

 

Got overspray on coilover tops cause im powder coating them blue to match the rest of engine bay...

 

just gotta clean the sanding dust from the subframe and clean all the looms up from dust but starting to look like a car again.

 

Just needs engine

 

 

 

 

my plenum it should look good with blue hoses and all the blue bolts

 

 

 

 

 

so now just need new windscreen and glass all fitted, the rebuilt engine fitted and my new wheels need tyres.

 

I'll update has I get thrm done

very good indeed

I started to build my plenum today at work,

 

The throttle bodies were filthy so I tried to polish them, was a mission to do...

 

But it seems to have made a big difference, I put another throttle body next to it which is about has dirty...

 

And I stripped them down was shocked how many springs and plastic bits were in there lol...
