The rebuild has finally started today and so far in a few hours I've managed to completely strip the interior.

 

 

 

Next job on my list is to get both the bumpers, tailgate and bonnet off.

 

After that i'll work on the body panels and stripping down the engine.

Tidied up all the ecu looms as the cables were previously pulled out for the respray.

 

Fitted the carpet and gave it a bloody good clean with a vax carpet cleaner.

 

 

Fitted two out of three of the peddles

 

 

Eagerly await the third to arrive.

Just about to fit the air blower and also the empty carcus for the aircon unit.

 

Rather than fit the old unit which can no longer be used I stripped it out of the casing.

 

 

Now fitted.

 

She's coming along very nicely Lee. Spotless interior!

Nice work Lee. Treat those lovely new rubbers to a nourishing dose of Gummi Pfledge [emoji41]

Also fitted the drivers foot well fuse box today.

 

Ended up removing the pedals again just to give me some room.

 

All in it took about an hour on my side lying on the floor of the zed.

 

Bugger of a job and wished I took a reference photo to show where everything went back.

 

But got there in the end. :)

Hi Lee, I dropped the parcels on Tuesday and got an email confirmation on Weds to say they had received them, so should be with you shortly:thumbup1:

Probably Monday:thumbup1:

Over the years I've done many a job using every day household items that the wife would normally protest about.

 

From hoovering out my zed carpet on the driveway (separate from the zed), cooking my headlights in the oven and

cleaning various engine parts in the dishwasher.

 

But can anyone say for sure that they have washed and dried there zed windscreen in the bath ?

 

Well tomorrow my glass gets refitted and I had to take it out of storage from my loft and give it a good scrub.

 

Gives a new definition to car wash :

 

PMSL! Done all of the above on an ex car of mine (Fiat Coupe) but I’ve never even heard of any one washing their windscreen in the bath. :lol:

Gives a whole new dimension to...

 

Front and side glass now fitted, had some issues with the top trim as it seems to have lifted slightly after we fitted it.

 

Not sure what to do about it now as its noticeable from my perspective.

 

Apart from that it looks good and my zed is near whole again. :)

 

 

Not been on here much for a while but

WOW

Remove it and get it done again. You’ll always be looking at it if you don’t sort it, a few hundred pound on this project is only a drop in the ocean. Try and get the same fitter so they fully understand what the issue is. Looking great!!!

I think as the glass has been pushed into place the rubber inner track has came away from the lower part of the glass.

 

So its not tucked in and is now lifting up.

 

Do you think its a full glass out again or is a way to take that single piece off and fit it again ?

 

I don't wish to attempt glass removal again if I can avoid it.

Working on my zed today and for the first time in 6 months it was warm enough so i pushed the zed out to get some sun.

 

I wanted to finish off the front side so I bolted on the bumper and fitted all the lights.

 

 

Looking more like a zed now.

 

Interior wise my daughter gave a helping hand to clean the dust off all the parts.

 

 

Reg plate fitted and from the front it looks like I have a working zed.

 

All but an engine under that bonnet.

 

The wife says hi !

 

It’s so nice to log on and see all these fantastic looking machines almost ready for the summer. Hats off to you Lee, it looks amazing. [emoji41]

Boot interior trims now fitted along with the tailgate trims.

 

Getting there.
