Well after fixing the headlight issue (yep third fuse, top row, footwell fusebox as predicted), managed to run out of petrol on the drive to the petrol station going up a hill and then a loose undertray i had to fix on the motorway - i finally reached the MOT station in Derby after a very nervous drive waiting for something to go wrong.

 

The car flew through its MOT with just a comment on the pitted discs :) Managed to grab the tax on the way back then didn't get chance to drive it again till yesterday.

 

Spent saturday afternoon swapping the matt grey bonnet/nosepanel for the gloss ones off my V8 project. Unfortunately time hasn't been kind to either the car or the bonnet over the past two years so yesterday I took a trip down to see Peach for a bit of a makeover and paint recondition.

 

He sent me some preview pictures after the mopping session last night and it looks like a new car :) Hopefully picking the finished car tonight then it's onto cleaning the enginebay and reconditioning the leather/fitting the stereo.

 

Can't wait for the birthday weekend now :hyper:

 

SOME PICS :)

 

Saturday morning before the mot...

 

 

 

Yes i know it's not staying, just waiting to get my Momo Evo off my old car :P

 

 

The face of a happy guy :D

 

 

Gloss bonnet and nosepanel fitted - still a bit of realignment to go but already looks better!

 

 

Next stop, zed birthday celebration! :)

p.s. preview of my car getting "Peached" - i see the finished thing tonight so more pictures then :)

 

This is great news mate glad to see you back in a Z and how is Peach keeping I have not heard about him in a long time now. See you at Coventry.

Cheers Gary, can't tell you how nice it was bombing down the country roads with the windows down in the sun yesterday :)

 

Peach is good just incredibly busy what with 4 kids (!) and lots of work. It was good to catch up with him though and he was so happy to see a zed. I think he'll be back in one at some point soon ;)

 

I haven't been to any meets for ages so only bumped into him once or twice at ashby folville before it was closed last year.

 

 

See you in a couple of weeks! :)

Great news mate. You've been out of a zed to long, can see it in your face..lol
