Well the weather's been fantastic, so what better way to spend the day than under the car! LOL

 

Pics aren't that great quality. Anyway, I thoroughly cleaned out the arches and the wheels.

 

Dressed the arch liners. I'd previously painted up the non-plastic parts with satin black hammerite to make it all look new. I cleaned up the calipers, attacked them with autosol, redid all the lettering and painted up the non-contact surfaces on the disks.

 

Makes a lovely difference and makes the rims appear brighter. Allso go underneath and cleaned up the petrol tank and polished up the exhaust.

 

It looks great si, now all you need to do is never drive it again so it stays like that :)

 

p.s I'd avoid jacking the zed up on the sills, it does'nt like it very much

looks good mate. you didnt get under the car using just that little jack did you :eek:

Unfortunately my trolly jack is bust. I wrapped a bit of dead towel around the top of the jack before I did jack it up.

you would have been having a closer look at it if it had given up on you. just think what the hse would say?

Looking good Si mate, well done :D

I had it on an axel stand, I'd just jacked it up and taken the wheel off.

its does look superb by the way

I'll try and make the pics a bit bigger as you can't make out too much.

lets hope it never rains again

Blast, now I have yet another job to add to the ever increasing list of things to do to my Zed. Why oh Why did I look?

 

Now were does one start on this kind of task oh yes I need to get under the thing first right note to self invest in a trolley Jack. LOL

looks a very clean zed does that,its nice to see a un-molested example well done. :duffer:

and a big tub of elbow grease

lets hope it never rains again

 

LOL, it can rain all it likes. I never drive it in the wet! LOL

it shows

it shows

 

Thanks mate.

 

Took a side on shot today too. Not very clear. Not sure what's wrong with my camera at the moment, but it's not taking as crisp a picture as it used to.

 

cleaning day tomorrow bud start at 06.00 am before the sun comes out

looking at that picture mate you tried to focus on the door area , you have a lot of sun on it and behind the door are some horizontal lines on the garage, in fact that background is all lines, try focus lock on a easier area compose from there

youve done a good job there mate, looks spot on.

aint it a good feelin when you stand back and admire your days work, makes it all worth while.

Thanks mate.

A little tip Si,if you paint the sill seam where you normally jack from black.It gives the car a cleaner look along bottom edge.Body shop Guy told me that and it defo does.

Looking very good mate!
