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

 

 

Thanks again for the replies, the cat was shocked like the misses with exhaust in the kitchen lol...

Misses still moaning when I got up this morning...

Hi guys I got the engine back in at the weekend, really starting to look like a car,

 

I just had to test fit the silicon hoses see what it looks like lol...

 

And I didn't catch my shiney engine bay anywhere going in...

 

Just wish it could have been my rebuilt engine, Had to put old engine back in till the winter then I can rebuild engine and put all my new turbos and bits on ready for next spring.

 

I want to use the car this year and I was out of work and only just getting on top of the bills now,

 

Hoping over the next couple of weeks all my bills will be paid and I can spend spend spend on the zed lol...

 

Well heres a pic...got to get the front coilovers off im powder coating them blue to match the bay thats why I didn't care about over spray on them lol...

Where did you get the powder coating done?

From a place in minster but it took 3 goes, they messed it up a few times,

Looks good now though, its candy blue powder coat,

 

Thanks for replying everyone,

Looking good Terry,

Looking good mate.

Keep going, it will be worth it.

Tasty!! :thumbup1:

got it in then mate

Hi everyone, you think I wrecked my meister r coilovers,

 

I have a kind of blue theme going on with the car, so I was gonna get the top mounts powder coated blue like the rest of the stuff in the bay,

 

But I couldn't get spring clamp on the spring and didn't want to mess with the spring rate settings so I just sprayed them at work silver with a black bit, atleast its just aerosol paint so I can just wipe the paint of with thinners and there be red again,

 

Now just to fit the bloody things again lol

 

This is the engine bay with overspray on the coilover top mounts and didn't like the red

 

 

And the coilovers
