Today I will mostly be here, so let me now if anyone wants to catch up.

Won't be in the zed, and will be looking out for the do's and dont's of things to change on the zed :-)

one for the purists

 

Not too keen on what theyve done to the front lights

No.

Just the lights?

Cool number plate

This is cool;

That is not.

WTF is that? Looks like a recycled U-Boat.

Not a fan of the tax disc holder.

... and the rest of the car is ok?

Should have used aircraft spec countersunk rivets for improved airflow over the body and better finish.

Hmm, they are AD rivets though Andrew. I wouldn't recommend those for this application! :p

Now you just being pedantic! Given that the car looks like it has been made out of some ill fitting aircraft cargo door,

surely any old rivet will do?

Not keen on the wing mirrors personally!

It's like it, it's nice to see someone trying something different.

 

Does something like that draw attention at shows? Absolutely.

:eek::eek::shock::shock::shock::shock::eek::eek:

... I actually like it... looks like it belongs in deathrace or something. at least they had the balls to take a theme and run with it, just missing some fake machine guns on the bonnet...

Love it...100% function over form and its raw and mechanical looking just as i like it. Its a zed that dares to be different without the usual seen it before nice paint and wide wheels brigade, 10/10:thumbup1:

Gotta admit here !!

 

Regardless of rivet type, tax disc holder, submarine similarities, number plate things and where the front lights shine, that's actually a lot

better than some of the tat that's normally paraded as "mods" ??? Have I seen worse ? Deffo !!

 

Alan..........

Wonder what the shed vent is for on the O/S/R ????

 

Remote Keyless Entry ?

 

Likin this more and more !!

My personal favourites are the copper piping extravagances, particularly all along the driver side sill, which I didn't capture very well on the pic. Not quite steam punk, but getting there. Maybe next year it will be more finished?

 

My impression it was built specifically as a show car to attract attention, which it did, and was placed accordingly.

Fair play to someone putting the effort in, and managing to get a 300 in one of the most prime spots of the show, at the atrium entrance.

I have to say I agree with this, it's a show car and it does it's purpose, even if our cars in the club are alot nicer, that will sure attract more attention.

 

It's not like someone put untasteful fibreglass bodykits on because they think it looks nice, they just built it to show and it does have a running theme which catches the eye.
