The Purpleness has begun :

The front lip is now getting fitted to my 99 spec bumper. Been told its not the best fitment compared to other parts done; anyone else with a front lip that didn't fit so easy ?

Hi, I'm glad to announce we are now running version 4.2.5 of vBulletin. Nothing visually has changed but we like to apply these updates to keep our club safe from various exploits that appear from time to time. If you do happen to find something not working as usual let myself or another mod know via the support sections and we will look into it. Thanks again JaiKai

Updated the default to show everything.

two out of three pistons now cleaned up.

Engine cleaning progress.

Let the respray commence :)

Its a series 4 zed so I would presume yes.

Final prep underway and painting starts hopefully tomorrow.

Don't go by minimum size needed, go by how big can you fit in the space you have.

Side skirts now fitted

Long as its on a weekend :)

I agree on that when it comes to the new direction the bonds films have taken. If you look back and watch some of the old movies they all seem dead cheesy to me.

Another tragic loss today. Not as nearly as good a bond as Sean but I loved live n let die.

yes, they are all in order along with the lifters and will be going back where they came from. :)

new door sills have arrived.

This would be scary for most people but I've got a good engineering mindset so I found it very easy. I've new gaskets, stem seals, bearings and piston rings on order. Looking forward to rebuilding her but it's a bugger to clean. My thoughts are to buy loads of white vinegar and steap the whole lot for a few days.

Moving onto the pistons i'm glad that I decided to crack on and strip it completely as I had a cracked piston ring on one. And a few other cracked as I took them off, very fragile these are. Just a cleanup job now which i'm not looking forward too. Pistons are very good condition with just a few areas of carbon that can be cleaned up. And looking into the block the cylinders are very clean indeed.

Apart from the oil everything was nice and clean with no contaminants. Crank out and placed carefully on the support bracket.

Engine breakdown today :) Starting first on getting the valves out and stem seals. Then after that I started on the block again One by one I slowly took the pistons out. Then the bottom end support bracket off followed by the oil pump and the seal from the other side.

cool idea. :gunsmilie:

The whole paint job is 3K and i'm getting a fair discount.

Give MJP a call he is a Trader on here.

And these have been dispatched from concept. The version I ordered are black with red text saying Fairlady Z

Lots of good things happening today. First my paint has arrived from house of kolor in the USA. Then I get notification that the remaining back order for my conceptz order has been dispatched. You would never guess what colour it is?
