sorry for the spelling mistake

i would think the escort racing would suit your car mate. its a 99 spec with a shaved plate mount and a lower splitter. only down side is that it is fiberglass not plastic (pu) like the 99spec. i have a 99 spec ready to go on mine but i dont think ill fit skirts as there are none i like for the swb

perfect weather for reupholstering, sitting on the sofa in the evening cutting out bits of trim and anoying the mrs with the smell of impact adhesive. not great for painting though

i love that car, would never want a car like that but i do love it

had my black swb for about 1 month 9 months for the red lwb which is slowly being sold off/scrapped

Thanks 300 dre, like he says. ive pollished up the rear pipes and they are like a mirror, i was never able to fit it to my car as ive now got a swb. but i have heard they sound fantastic and the quality is superb. i can post some pics if you would like

why dont you just fit a tt in your shell?

well if it makes you feel any better, this is the plan for my car. its a swb tt manual targa in mettalic black std exterior with eto following alterations 99 spec front 99 spec rear lights despoilered clear side repeaters 17 x 9 front et18 17 x 10 rear et 22 enkei rp01 low enough to make it look correct (if you see what i mean) on teins interior std fitment late spec recaros charcoal alcantara replacing all tweed gray/black nardi wheel momo shifter 3 gauges in slot below stereo retrim dash/ centre console in black leather engine all black/chrome/ polished alloy. except plenum finished in crackle red wire tuck hicas delete battery to boot- tray removed engine bay respray decluttered Thats is im going for a clean uncluttered look, no gimicks no flashy bits. i totally agree with si there are loads of zeds out there that have thousonds spent only to make them look worse. hoping to complete for june so i hope to see you at a few shows

i love that zed, its the inspiration for my new zed except im fitting a 99 spec

are the cream seats from an etype?

it far more likely to be an alignment/worn bush issue. replacing any worn bushes and having a propper alignment will transform the car. you say the car is lowered so as a start the car will be out of alignment even if it was perfect before. The rear suspension on these cars is very complex and has lots of bushes and tends to need setting up quite often

i drove a n/a auto ages ago and it was very dull. i think ther are fwd too

i would have the rear subframe etc with back part of prop if breaking

bbs lm for me too

i have used the metal based fillers before to good effect. to be honest any filler will shrink/crack over time

i think ill go crackle red, car's black btw

there are already adaptor for the sr20 to z32 box- could one be used the other way round?

i will be having a set when they are avalable would look great with a set of 99 spec inserts

oh- or just pm me

There you go mate Im open to sensible offers Email is peterjloveday@hotmail.co.uk

i have a navan one if you are interested

I gave the car a quick wash tonight to see what lies benieth and to give it a bit of a clean before i work on it. looks better than i thought. i tried to take some photos but its too dark

they way to go with a kitten would be a hyabussa engine mounted in the back. z-cars do a twin hyabussa mini good for 60 in less than 3 seconds im building a lexxus v8 powered s14 with two t28s and a scratch built seven with a 350bhp redtop which should weigh in at about 500kg- those any good to you

ah it was leon that i was thinking of. it fits well but the centre section is too wide i think so it does not line up with the cutout bit. i was also thiking of a srb type 2 splitter for the 200sx
