Yet another Update.....

[Taphouse]

Well a few weeks of wheeler dealing, came together this weekend. Coilovers fitted, calipers painted, inner arches cleaned up, new alloys, laguna splitter added, and bonnet raisers fitted.

Zed Ten was my completion date I set myself, and a 7pm finish saturday and it was completed. I'm very please indeed, hopefully I've put my mark on this car now, and it can be known as mine now. :)

I've got the OZ for sale, if you fancy tucking them away for a rainy day! :fun:

[Supercharged_Z]

Ay I see them, an considered it but just a little expensive tbh. Iirc they cost 900 new with the Yokohama on, just need to shop about. A mini site has some for sale with Tyres for less.

Cheers Ross

It certainly looks the part now and in excellent condition, good to see it still around and re-invented again.

[peterzs]

Looks even better in the flesh, well worth all the time and effort thats gone into it.

Looks like its just waiting to get out on a track somewhere.;););)

Did sound nice with my window down and your car up at the front of the tunnel, worth the visit up for that, pity the tunnel wasnt a bit longer.

Only reason I might change the derv, great sound.

:yes::yes::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[stamford]

Southbound A3 Hindhead tunnel opens Weds, northbound a couple of days later. This could call for a slight detour on my commute home from work :whistle:

[peterzs]

Maybe we should hold an, "inaugural fly through the tunnel", meet!!!

Let you V6 lot go at the front.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Yes! we need to see where we are going :laugh:

[MG 53 ZED]

:cool2: Looking good, loving those rims they go with the car spot on

[mattie007]

Lovely motor there, red really suits it.

Went by that new tunnel on the way to Goodwood a few weeks back. We went via the 'Devils Punchbowl', lovely bit of road. Is it true they are closing the old road when the tunnels open, seems a waste?!

[stamford]

No idea if they are closing it, can't see it myself as it feeds a few places, national park and hostels. Local businesses will suffer, one petrol station has already closed in the last couple of weeks.

:O Stunning! That is what I was aiming at with my 120, I got to this stage before I sold it, they could almost be twins http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=9035

They certainly look similar.

[Bobdope2002]

Thank you for your honesty but your wrong!!! :rofl:

[Bobdope2002]

My friend has em on his 1.2 corsa and its a shitbox yours clearly isnt a shitbox that's the only reason I don't like them but its your chap and its got a fair but if history amongst the forum so.....

No i did try to look as i was genuinly intrested, i think it was with the recipts i gave you.

[Dan1971]

Had lifters on my mk1 when I first got it. One of the first things to go. I had visions of the bonnet coming through the windscreen in an accident and causing me a headache !

For me it just looks ill fitting. I like close gaps, saying that, my bumper's sagging a bit ..... :whistle:

[talkingcars]

Having seen it in the flesh the bonnet doesn't look that bad, it is purposful and goes with the whole package.

However I am very disappointed, you waited until I had gone so as "not to spoil" your pictures with a proper colour one in them!

[ZS Phil]

What are you using as center caps for the straights? Also what are the weel nuts?

[Boot Hill Bandit]

You have taken my old car to new levels Andy. So impressed and so proud of you and I mean that. This car has always been in need of all the TLC she could ask for and more and thankfully you have provided that.

Even now you know, I drive the Vectra with a smile on my face but miss the ZS when I remember the driving position, the smell of the unburnt fuel from the exhaust on start up and the burbling noise on tickover and then the howl she would make going through the tunnel in Norway backing up all the traffic to a crawling pace straddling both lanes and gunning her hardto 100mph watching all the traffic move out the way to getting the speeding fine for it a year later.........to worrying Evos and a Delta Inergrale out the way on the Lydden trackday and returning to the pits with the brakes alight smoking away.......to the realisation of baby Ruby on the way and being the good Dad and calling it a day and selling up to Ross.

You've done a stirling job Andy.........keep looking after her like you are :pimp:

I was only messing bud, I've been posting up on public forums for many moons now, and I know its about what your happy with. I was just giving it some light hearted banter, to many people take it to heart.

Its a 59mm end cap, they just push in. stick in google you should find something, I got mine from work.

The glow of TY was making mine look orange!!! :smile2:

I would of liked some photos of all the cars, but they packed us in so tight we didnt get a chance!!

Thank you Jim, I havent finished yet!! :beer: Hopefully I'll have plenty of memorial events in her too.

[peterzs]

Jim, you would be proud of the car, does look the biz, and sounds fantastic, did say I know someone that would love to buy it back.

As you say, family comes first, but rest assured the car is in good hands.

Come a long way from Auto Barn, now, just 30 odd miles up the road, small world.

:wave:

[MG Nabz]

That looks ace good work pal
