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.

No sir, they won't be. :tt2:

 

Controversial!

Why ever not? You have a natural aperture with black accents.

lol, we had this conversation on the last build.

 

I like the door pillers purple as well as the wing mirrors parts.

Colour coded :)

 

The correct tool for the right job, ordered up a proper tool to fit the valve keepers and now they are all fitted properly.

 

 

 

 

Everything nice and clean and the lifters rebuilt and fitted again.

 

Placed some paper towels over the top until I can get to the bigger garage to fit the cam shafts.

 

 

Mate do your engine a massive favour on start-up by using this on every surface (cams,crank,ect) just a very small dab and it protects untill oil pressure is built up...

Visitation rights today.

 

Few pictures of the new paint and my new lower lip :

 

 

 

Lock and Load

 

 

Now safely at my work lockup.

 

 

Up on the ramps I get to see for the first time the underbody which I was impressed with.

 

 

Looks very tidy that Lee [emoji106] I'm surprised you spent all that time and money on stripping/painting the car, without having a good inspection all over beforehand though!

So nice, the club has some great show cars coming.

Think you misunderstood.

 

The body work is spot on and in tip top shape.

 

I was talking about the undercoating work the bodyshop done.

hi mate I will be leaving Saturday afternoon for Edinburgh then flying out for a week not back untill 18th.

Few hours on the zed today and started the suspension over-hall with the drivers side being partially done.

 

New Driftworks Top Camber Arms installed.

New Driftworks Tensions Rods installed.

New Driftworks Front Lower Arms.

 

New MeisterR Coilovers.

 

Removed old brakes and also the dust shield so that I can fit my KSport big brakes.

 

Then finally test fit the new wheels.

 

 

 

 

Old vs New setup

 

 

Still to adjust the ride height as I wasn't sure at first what height to make everything.

 

I'm just doing the install first then i'll think about lowering it a bit.

Started on the other side today and after nearly three hours I only managed to strip everything down.

 

The other side was much easier but fate had it that I had some bolts and nuts that were happy where

they were and had no plans to move.

 

But they eventually were persuaded to budge.

 

 

Also got my new car cover so fitted that too to keep things nice and clean.

 

Back to the garage tonight for a few hours and completed the passenger side hub.

 

 

Then onto the back I managed to strip only down to the hub as I never has a large enough socket

to get the large bolt in the middle off.

 

I need to remove the full hub and the knuckle in order to get all the bushes replaced for poly one.

 

 

Also removed the HICAS unit as I have a lockout bar to fit.

 

These joints were a bugger to get off but I eventually attached them with one of those spider puller thingamabobs.

 

HICAS was electronic so easy unplug and remove. :)

 

 

Below is everything that was removed today and no longer needed so up for grabs.

 

Also got 4 original zed wheels with tyres.
