Alrighty well ive been doing some work on the zed when i can during my weekends. Mainly the first part was removing everything i could from the underside of the car, Both subframes (and dis-assembly of) fuel take brake/fuel lines and anything else removable with a socket really. Once i removed everything i was planning on removing all surface finish from the underside of the car as ive noticed that under the factory seam seal there can sometimes lie our little friend rust. I will be then Acid etching and painting with a lovely coat of Rust bullet ( http://www.rustbulletuk.com/ ) Not the cheapest of paints but far superior obviously depending on the prep before hand. anyway heres some pics. Subframe removed The general condition of the underside before i took action When i removed the plastic cover to reveal the fuel filler neck, the amount of dirt behind it was pretty impressive, but even better i found a bunch of nuts! not sure how they got in there. unfortunately they fell out and scattered over the garage floor so no pic :(

that is super quick work, ive been working on mine taking the underside back to bare metal, what a drag that is!

Awesome! cheers for that lee. pm for you sir. Hollings

As title, Anyone have one of these or could remove some 2 inner races for me in the telford area? Thanks

I must say sleeping on the floor of one of those was the best flight I've ever had!

Yeah fully adjustable damping, ride height and preload. Comes with spanners, and easy to fit! If you go via their website they have a basic how-to for setting up the preloads and damping. No choice on colours as far as I am aware.

I had meister r zeta r set on my lwb Tt and were excellent and I'm going to be purchasing another set for my swb soon!

nice car that, and welcome.

Removed both of mine earlier and mine came free when I removed the bearing so unfortunately that's drive shaft out handbrake assy off and anchor pin for the handbrake assy then bearing. I wasn't looking to remove that so may have not noticed it could come free earlier but that's how I did it Hollings

I think you need the n/a rear section of the prop in whatever length you need (swb/lwb) as the n/a prop is 4 bolts to the diff and TT is 5 bolts. As far as I'm aware...

Hello and Pics!

bulkhead, engine then gearbox

congratulations matt, it was awesome to watch!

Welcome mate you planning to go through with mod 1 and 2??

Keep getting unable to deliver email replies, is that address correct or do you have another?? Thanks

I'm in need of some spare connectors with tails if anyone has any lying around. I need 6x injector connectors 1x CAS connector And maybe some coil pack connectors but I'm not sure how many. All connectors are the ones of the harness itself just incase any ambiguity. Thanks, Hollings

That's a sexy car!

I will most likely be going, not in a zed but either a clio or my bike, others too.

Yeah I'm going to plod along, not going to give up yet, but I'm not going to buy the engine or other items until the shell is good.

Now due to the lack of time i am able to spend working on this heap i decided to refit the sub frames to get it rolling to bring it to my Camp to allow me to work on it during the week whilst im not working. In this time i thought id take apart the engine i had removed to see what had REALLY had happened as the rod popping out of the sump just made me oh so curious! Off comes the sump and looking back at the first pic of the sump the out lay of the damage becomes pretty obvious. ill let the next few pictures do the talking, but just to say one thing....i actually started this and apart from it sounding pretty 'rough' it actually ran and moved, which for what you will see i thought was impressive. Everyone loves a bit of penetration. This little devil was sitting in the sump after having a party. This next pic is off piston 5..(piston 6 is the one that had the 'big end bearing' gone) Other than huge amounts of filings, the cast framework that sits lower of the crank being destroyed, and all the baffles in the sump being flattened. Oh and the huge breather hole in the sump. Its in pretty good nick, anyone wanna buy? Ill prob be adding to this over time.... Hope you enjoyed, Hollings.

I posted at the start of this month i had bought a SWB N/a with a naff engine and was planning on doing a TT swap among other things and general tinkery stuffs.... ( BTW i bought this with a Big end Bearing gone.....) Well i started to strip her down and upon removing the R/h Wing i found this abomination! Then obviously having to remove the engine and planning on stripping the underside i start removing the engine beginning with the Fluids and find a certain something peeping out the sump! (the dipstick i knew about when buying the car and the look on the owners face when i asked him where the rest of it was was priceless) This next one isnt detrimental but i thought, at least I've gained something so far from buying this..... Now for my favorite surprise ive had yet... L/H Sill R/H Sill
