What do you mean

What do you mean

 

What everyone is saying. Is that you cannot And will not get and acurate reading turning the engine over buy hand. Yourll need your engine in you car.take out the big green fuel fuse first so the car dosnt start and just turns over half a dozen revaloutions to get a acurate reading per cylinder.

Day one of pulling the car apart on my 3rd coffee looking at her though the window there a lot too come off well got 9 days see how we go

Just keep at it bud. At least you've got a window to work on it.

Well started spraying think I'm going too run out of glitter silver Iv been on too the paint guys too see how fast thay can send me a extra 4lt just too be on the safe side

Edited April 27, 201510 yr by ted

So far so good just got one problem on the back bumper started too blister so going too stop and let it dry until tomorow then sand it right back

The base coat looks pretty good there Ted considering you are painting the bloody thing on your drive again :scared: haha. If I were you, I wouldn't apply the lacquer to the whole car at once if you have to do it outside. Mask off and do a section at a time and try to shield it from the elements and the insects that seem to be attracted to wet paint, and plenty of tacking before you spray.

 

Looking forward to the finished item. Classic and Sports cars by the lake-6th September, I hope its ready by then??

 

I bet Denise is really happy that you have managed to change the colour of your driveway gravel from Buff to Metallic grey!:devil::ohmy:

 

 

I hope you are both well mate, catch up with you both soon, keep it up!

Cheers Tony she hasn't seen it yet keep kicking it over I'm waiting for a polly tunnel too turn up where doing well mate hope you and Claire are well I should make that meet is your car up and running now

Well the polly tunnel turned up sat its big so many tubes think it will take most of the day putting the thing together but once up I can start spraying in comfort and not panicking if it's going to rain

Well back on the old girl been manic at work very long shifts and doing 6-7days now it's back to normal should have some candy on by mon with any luck

Polly tunnel up took some jiggling as it was 18ft long and didn't need it all very hot in there sweating like a dog

It looks like you have taken up growing Da Weed Ted..................lol

Haha yea sorry officer thought it was a Tomato plant

Didn't do much today did some spending sfs heater matrix kit. Sfs idle air hose kit. Sfs vac hose kit and sfs pcv hose kit in red so just wait for them too turn up

Had a right pants of a day redid the rockers hard pipes under engine cover in the glitter silver that was fine thought I redo the car in the silver just too refresh it as I'm waiting for the last of my parts and the engine hoist too turn up and fook me this happened not happy so had too order a isolator rerub down use the isolator leave for an hour or so then primer then re silver it then leave it alone

Ah man! Sorry to hear this, don't let it get you down, I have to commend you for trying this yourself, I honestly wouldn't even attempt to do this, I figure I'll pay someone to do it and save myself a load of heart ache.

I'm giving you some Rep Ted as you totally deserve it for all the hard work, effort and dedication you have put into the Z yourself!:clap::thumbup:

Right cut back the blisters gone a bit Ott but never mined but should I stay stock and do candy this

I think you should paint the stock covers, Looks like an awful lot of work and needless expense on pulling the pulleys and chroming them, plus you are basically removing any protection from the Timing Belt. Unless you're looking to have it looking like Lukes Z?? Have a look at the likes of Lees (Jaikai), he has done a fantastic job on his.

Is that an Abflug Spoiler you've got there??
