Bit of an update for the zed community! Brand new engine harness has been hacked up to add a few wires etc, stitched back up and installed. Targa hook and roof liner + rear view mirror, sun visors, some trim pieces, parcel shelf, Cleaned and fixed up the carpet. Sat the new seats in I got way back when I picked up the zed over 2 years ago. Touched up on the re trimming i started months ago. Interior is starting to take shape now. Got the air con box tested for any leaks, so the next step is installing heater core, air con and fan box under the dash, followed by the dash, woop! Pics!!! (Thanks MickW for lending me a decent camera that shows the dust all the much better! ) Overall im pretty excited to see the interior starting to take shape.
Looking good Alex ...did you end up getting the interior reupholstered with Dantrim? Or did you have a crack yourself?
looks good man... but please for the love of god cover those white seats in 5 layers of plastic + car covers + more leather or they will be destroyed before you even finish the car lol
I started them ages ago, never got around to finishing it, so im finishing and cleaning up each part as they go in. Later on i might get a pro to do it, but they dont look too bad. haha I know what you mean, Hopefully I can get all the glass tinted and installed soon. Waiting on the targa cap things to get painted so the targas can go back together. And putting the dash in today, good chance ill miss something and will have to be removed again later on...
Sorry guys, ive been a bit busy lately. ATM the dash is back in, quarter windows have been ordered and on the way. once they arrive its all in for tint then install. Still waiting for the paint to be cut back, to remove any remaining orange peel etc. Once paint is cut photos will come
Wow nice work, that paint looks stunning. A lot of hard work but it all paid off with an awesome result like that. Are the back rear windows difficult to put back in again?
Im getting a windscreen mob to install all the windows, except doors, after i get them tinted.. Not a job i would tackle myself, as i would probably end up with leaks etc
Ah fair enough, some jobs like that are much less of a headache to let someone else do it. The paint looks remarkable, a huge difference from the spray paint orange when you first got it.
IM BACK!, Where did I go you might ask?... Nowhere, Been a bit busy over the past month or two helping a mate (DEVLXR) build his house. But thought its time to give an update. But the dash is now in, most of the trims. Waiting on door windows to be installed before the door cards go on. All the windows were taken in yesterday for tint + will be installed very soon along with a new windscreen. Paint is now 90% cut back, so looks even better than before. I have a big order coming in from CZP with MickW (Thanks again Mick!) A few more parts on the the list to get painted soon, (stereo surround, targa cap things, new window cowls, brake booster) etc. The TT engine from the black doner car has also been stripped down, Taking it in soon to be checked for cracks etc. Engine bay is getting ready for new engine. Still have noo clue what some parts are for, but learning along the way. Sorry about the poor photos, (taken from phone) Installing windows isnt something I would do in fear of leaks etc. And thanks
Amazing effort Alex, starting to look like a car again!! A real credit to you :thumbup: I'm sure the engine build will go well if you keep up the same attention to detail that you've shown so far. ( still no sign of our latest CZP order having been shipped )
Thanks Mick, And as you know, our CZP order arrived today. I can see you were over the moon Hopefully all this should finish off the exterior of the car centre panel outer support grommet cowl grill kit Hinge cover left & right Hood Prop Rod Clip Window Slider and Bolt X2 Kuruma Complete Molding Kit 2k taillights NA to TT Radiator Bracket Fastener - Windshield L+R Rear Hatch Window Corner Weatherstrip - Door LH+RH Infill panel Busy days ahead! Thanks Again Mick!
BWAHAHA :rofl:...photo of Mick with box on head lol..had me ROFL! Looks like a great bunch of goodies you have there Alex ...I would seriously be too scared to drive your car after all this effort..its just unbelievable!!
Alex has been busy lately Great to see more parts going back onto the car mate. And the gloss black works a treat with that duco. I realise you're still test-fitting things and cleaning off the buffing compound etc but here's a few detail pics - Just 1 complaint; the gloss black is so shiny that the shooter's reflection keeps showing up in the pics - Don't know about you guys but I aint never seen my reflection in a windscreen wiper arm before Alex, you've made some great choices with the styling and put a massive amount of work into the details, it's really paying off. Kudos mate.
