They look the nuts, very shiny... Dont some American zeds have chrome wheels, good thing with powder coat compared to polished is u aint gotta keep polishing them..

Hi guys didn't get much time at weekend, but got brackets welded on for power steering pot and started shaping the filler on passanger side of engine bay run out of time so sprayed some primer on it to stop it rusting till next time I can work on it.. Also welded up the hole in the corner each side to make it look really smooth. So had to do a bit to drivers side again lol. Couple pics for anyone interested And thanks dougal200 nicked your idea for my pot much appreciated.

Thanks for that its a great help, car looks stunning by the way..

Mine cost £95, cause its alloy and I had a candy colour it was more expensive then normal, But should look good, I hope lol. Once its done I'll post a pic.

Not sure the powder coat place near rugby club, is he any good lol. The colour my plenum is going looks very similar to your wheels. How are u hope your ok, is the beast coming out to play soon.

H&s would shoot me lol, my bro in law was painting 2k in that I ran for the hills lol. His nuts said to him about wearing a air fed mask his worked in loads of paintshops and his nearly allways just used the 3m mask..

I'll have a look mate, got tied up with my zed but going mums tonight its brothers b day, So look at them disc for u. - - - Updated - - - Dont worry I'll keep annoying everyone with pics...

I ended up removing the stonechip in my engine bay it was staying soft and could scrape it off, Thought all the places u dont see put stonechip on protect it and make it more hard wearing. Big mistake hours with wire brush on a drill. Does your stuff overpaint, got dinitrol stonechip in my arches and under whole car, Its not been over painted but im not sure if im happy with it, looks good but that feels a little soft too. Can dig my nail into it, so god knows if its gonna hold up to stones. Maybe thats why it dont chip cause its soft, never used it before so dont know how its ment to be.

Viagra u ****ers lol. Anyone know the best place for power steering pot and fuse box I have no holes now so gotta move them. Was gonna put pot under nose panel and fuse box where aircon pump was. Also sent my plenum to be powder coated, picked the candy blue he showed me the colour and looks good. Also gonna do the looms in blue conduit and blue silicone hoses. And all the rocker covers, throttle bodies in the artic white my cars being painted. got a load of cellulose gloss black so gonna use that on all the intercooler pipes etc.

I got no choice i have to keep doing it my lazy painter bro in law wont help his to busy, once engine bay is ready his gonna paint engine bay then I can put engine back in take it to his work and paint the whole car. Only thing me doing it, is its surprising how much all this primer, filler, stonechip has cost to keep sanding it back off, Must have spent £300 in materials likely I could have got a shop to paint it.

Thats what im gonna get a nice gazebo, i have a garage but all the parts off the zed are in there lol. Got it like the couple of pics above looks quite good, my phone dont make it look very good.

Wing bolts on same as usaul, aint touched them bits, where the bolt holes are the stuff what looks like filler is the factory seam sealer which sealed wing but when I used primer it covered it.

That cover is my best invention yet lol, it surprising how much warmer it is. I cant sit indoors love being under my bonnet, doing things and learning. Most of time like this engine bay end up doing same job 100 times but atleast I enjoy it. Cheers for reply..

Hi guys nearly done this now, put some primer on and can see theres a few bits I need to sand primer off put some more filler in and get the shape better. But I think it looks much better smooth. Couple pics, Cheers for looking.

Also if your car is uk spec or has a power steering cooler u either remove the cooler like I did and do it like above or u will have to loop the cooler in.

If u look at draxan his done the same has me too.

There how I have mine, when u throw it all away your be left with one pipe going nowhere so return it to the pot. Maybe join hicas pipes together if u leave all the crap underneath. I've removed everything.

Hi, The clamp was further up where I have removed paint, just put it there to hold the cover round started getting windy. Cheers though kind of thing id do lol.

It was quite warm in there, fire on nice and cosy. Lots of sanding to keep me warm.. Cheers for reply.

Dont know if this helps but I cut these pipes and joined them together. Cut the rubber one so theres couple inches of rubber pipe coming from pot, Then cut metal one with saw slide it in the rubber one and jubilee clip round it. Mines like this never had a problem, then throw all the crap in the bin..

Hi guys who likes my shelter lol, This is how not to work on your zed, The o no not again bit is I started my engine bay again, ive welded all the seams up on the passenger side now. And started both sides again, gonna make it smooth so welded all the holes where u bolt fuse box and power steering pot. Got rid of hicas so that nasty thing has gone too. I'll get some closer pics up tomorrow, when ive sanded some of the filler I put on so badly lol. Was gonna relocate fuse box to where my aircon pump use to be and power steering bottle under nose panel. Anyone else done similar, got any advice or better ideas, or even better some pics of how they did it.. Thank u.

I know what he means dont start pete off he said end of discussion lol..

Lol cant we keep discussing it need to practice my explaing skills. U are the man for a short sharp s.e.n.t.a.n.c.e. Im trying to build my posts up Cheers pete.

Cheers mark, so if they come off the tt I dont really need to buy new bolts or arms,

This is the bolt I snapped
