After Si's pointer to the Journal section I am going to start my journal on removing the veilside kit and 90's style removal.....

 

When I bought her......

When I rebuilt her and fitted the Veilside kit back in 2001......

with original veilside bumper

 

After insurance company used a replica front bumper to replace the damaged C1 version.....

The kit covered the bodywork imperfections and looked cool at the time.........

Edited February 26, 20178 yr by veilside01702

I have now removed the front bumper and boot spoilers.... and Fitted a 99 spec front bumper with a carmad lower lip and smoothed the boot lid with No spoiler....

Before the carmad lip was fitted....

Side skirts will be replaced when she gets resprayed...... or when the funds allow it.......

Nice one Russ, where did you get the 99? You planning on a spoiler? I always think the LWB needs one to help balance it out.

Did you wrap the boot? Any pics of your CarMad spoiler fitted Russ?

No spoiler at the moment...... I'm liking the clean line of the smoothed boot without the rear wiper arm....

I got the 99 spec via Mondo.... who collected it for me and posted it on to me...... Absolute diamond.....

Hi Richie, Forgot to say... Yes wrapped it to protect the boot lid till it gets resprayed... Not brilliant, but does stop water getting under the flaking paintwork.... lol

Today I had the pleasure of passing tools to Chrisbasildon, lending a hand and making coffee while he swapped my Automatic transmission from the broken NA one to the now working TT one.......

Building a Prop shaft out of the TT and NA ones into the correct length needed...

 

I am so grateful to Chris for giving up his day to come round and get my Z up and running again....... He is an absolute diamond......

 

So I am now back on the road again and looking forward to going to a few meets with the family this year..... Museum of power, Battlesbridge and Beaulieu........

 

Just need to save up for the respray now............
