Back to my engine build, Nice set of turbos arrived today to replace the old auto ones. Going to order up a 60k kit to get the tensioner, water pump, belt and thermostat replaced too. Also back water pipes, pcv kit, water hoses and vacum pipes. Lots to get and do.

Nice fit on the skirts

Already had the arches rolled to allow for extra space.:thumbup1:

The moment i was dreading has arrived. Looks like my calulations are ok and the new alloys and tyres fit perfectly flush. After the respray i'll fit the coilovers to bring the ride height down.

Pop out the hazard switch and reconnect it. It's basically a three way control and if it's a bad or loose connection nothing will work.

Don't care about colour but needs to be smooth as and in good condition. Anybody near Glasgow area got anything ? Urgent.

Cheers anyways, Its cost me a small fortune to get this built so far so dont have any extra funds to do anything but paint it. Its perfectly smooth so a good red garage paint will make it look great.

What would you guys prefer ? A nice smooth ass or

Wouldnt have got the floor polished if i thought of that. The concreete is super smooth so all it needs is sealed and painted.

New garage now ordered, ETA is about 5 weeks.

Its the oem paint still and its not even been sanded down, What you see is just light reflections.

Anybody ever seen this before ? My painter showed me the rear bumper to what looks like heat bumps and advised to change it out for a smoother one if I can find it. Looks as if the shape of the rear end has went wonky in the sun at some point.

The zed has now had all of its underbody protected too. Hard to see what its like, but its nice and shiny and clean too from what I can see.

Desperate to see what they were like with the new brakes I placed them underneath for a look.

Lots of updates today First off its the beauty of the new wheels, now fitted with tyres I managed to take two of them home. The other two I left at the garage to be test fitted.

This is my zed currently, in for a full makeover. Working on the new zed workshop at the same time, not sure whats goings to be finished first.

I need a jcb to get into where my garage is going to be.

Full undercoat underway ;

Tyres now fitted to the alloys. Should have a test fit in a day or so to the zed.

Has a cat been sleeping in there ?

Thought it was a model until i seen the ridiculous price.

Happy Birthday Simon.

Another nasty job I tackled today was the front wiring loom. I completely striped it down and wrapped in in new loom tape. Its now ready to fit back to the zed in about a week.

Belt covers came up no bad too after using a scrubbing brush. Everything's near enough ready to paint.

Got some of the gunk off them, but just ended up painting the cam covers in nitromorse. Then after an hour steeping I used a brillo pad on each one.
