:happybday:Happy 18th Birthday, have a great day:happybday:

Looking good buddy:thumbup1:

It should be about prevention, rather than a money making exercise!!:whistling:

Good to see you're lavishing it with a few goodies Dan, take it easy in it when it's all fitted until you get used to it buddy.:thumbup1:

Lovely car mate, congrats on the purchase:thumbup1: I'm digging the 2 personalised plates also:thumbup:

To be honest Steve, I'd say I've wasted a hell of a lot more over the last few years than I'm spending doing it right this time. So sorry I didn't do this 2 years ago instead of coughing up €2200 in labour to put the engine in (March 16), just to take it out again and store it in my parents shed last November. If you're going to do something, do it right the first time, especially with these cars. Bringing it over to Keith and then Jimmer is the best decision I've made with the Z so far:thumbup:

Here's one for you... On eBay.com.... and Facebook:innocent::whistling:

So, I've pestered Keith that much, that he sent me a few pics that scared the "Bejesus" out of me:scared: He's told me he's not sending anymore until it's finished but that all the scary stuff pictured has been rectified :bow::bow::bow::nana2: The mans a "Bleeding Legend" as they'd say in Dublin:biggrin: Anyway, here's the horror.... :shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::eek::eek: Things looking a bit better..:yes:.. :punk:

Don't know about fitting a Nitrous setup to these cars mate:whistling:, they're plenty quick without it:yes: I'd be scared ****less to use it. I hope you've got traction control:innocent:

Carbon-Ceramic brake pads ordered:thumbup:

Where's the pics??? In fact where's the video?? Love the sound of a V8:thumbup: Best of luck with it and don't forget to update us with pics and vid:thumbup1:

Keeping it OEM sapphire blue, haven't had an update from him yet, but I'm confident he'll have it sorted for Jimmer in 9-10 days time:thumbup1:

Plan B is a go!! Powdercoat is much better this time:yes: The guys told me they tried to ring me to tell me not to go in on Saturday, as they were not impressed themselves with the finish, they also knocked off a few quid by way of an apology :thumbup: My custom brackets arrived also but Customs were looking for €70 Duties:scared::thumbdown: Lodged a query and they're on the way back for assessment :whistling: On another note, my guy has finished building the Evo BBK and all parts are here ready to go to Jimmer for its new owner:thumbup: Hopefully he's a happy chappy seeing this:innocent:

Fair play Ian, you can have some "Rep" for helping out a fellow Zedder:thumbup:

Where's the new wheels???

Ah yeah, I don't think the regular guy painted them, he'll do it right this time.

All my caliper rebuild parts arrived yesterday, planned on building them today, called into the powdercoaters yesterday, who showed me them baking in the oven:whistling: went to collect them this morning and the finish was terrible :thumbdown: it was like they'd contaminated them with grit:scared: the fronts were perfect but I told them I wanted them re done, first time I've had this happen with them, so we'll see how it goes next week:yes:

:happybday: Happy birthday Craig, have a good one mate:thumbup1::happybday:

:happybday:Happy birthday Rhys, have a good one buddy:thumbup::happybday:

Where are you getting the brackets from matey ?

It's no fun at all, is it Lee?, but the sense of achievement you get when that last nut comes off is great:thumbup: stick at it bud:thumbup1:

Keep it the way you have it mate, stunning car:thumbup1: Try not to sell it, if at all possible :yes:

Happy birthday buddy:clap: Have a great day Paul :happybday:

Ah man, my dealership guys are all about the Z32, the mechanics have told me they've never had the chance to work on one but would love to give it a go, (not at my expense, they won't). They have a 240z in the showroom. They've asked me if I can bring the car down to them (when it's finally done) for open days and such:yes: Back to the matter in hand... I'd still pay the extra for an original OEM '99 spec, do it in stages if your dealer is not as accommodating as mine, buy the indicators one month and save a few quid towards the bumper over another few months, as you've already stated, the car looks fine with its original bumper, so you're under no pressure to get it:thumbup1: plan it for next year, which gives you a full 13 months to get it.

The guys in the Parts Dept are sound, I wouldn't be giving them as little as £25 but I'd throw in maybe £50 any time I was passing by, depending on how soon I needed the part, as far as they were concerned, it's a sale, whether it was a week or 3 months:thumbup: Maybe I'm just a people person:innocent:. that and the fact that we are going to have a stroked out 4.1 litre, 1200hp R35 GTR in the family:whistling::biggrin:
