I doubt it

Am I missing something here?

why register the engine change? its a track car, it will be trailered about, whilst I may MOT it and use it on the road at a later date, I'll think about it then, but its still an 1800 as on the log book.

The biggest change is lack of seat belts, rear seats, glass etc!!!

I wasn't talking about your project Mark but this.

gotcha!!!

But don't put him off, I would love to see a ZS only race series one day, I think they are cheap, capable and a great basis for a race car!

todays progress
 

Fitted the skirts today, I would have painted up a different set had I noticed these ones have the long bracket on them which doesn't leave indentations on the skirt where the short brackets fit! Bit to good for a track car!

Skirts fitted and back on the ground without wheel spacers - it really shows how low it is and desperate for a wider track and wider rims!

The proper 160 exhaust manifolds mated up to a 2.25" scorpion exhaust from a rover tomcat of all cars, just needed the centre box hangers relocating.

People go mad paying 500quid for KV6 Janspeeds, yet many VVC ZS conversions just don't bother with the correct 4-2-1 manifolds that the VVC has...they just bolt up the standard 120 mani...I can't get my head around why people cut corners, especially when the VVC mani is for nothing!
(I didn't fit this today, just having a rant!)

Bled the brakes again, for the umpteenth time, this time with the calipers off and the bleed nipple pointing northwards - there's either air in the system somewhere or the damn things need a good bedding in, but I don't want to be bleeding brakes on a shakedown

and finally wired up the washer bottle, the car didn't have one when I got it and I may want to fit some brake cooling ducts and the standard washer bottle is right in the way

Loving the washer bottle idea....may have to nick that one off you!

love a good project :) must be cold out

Was thinking the same myself. The missus was expecting me to be working on the zed during the break. -4 today so decided to do something warmer!

I had already gutted the doors, today's job; to see if a door card can be fitted to the drivers door with the door release mech.

bit of a prototype, trial fit, seems to work :)

Next onto gutting the bonnet - weight loss, and what a horrible job this is, it would be easier to make a fibreglass bonnet!!! Cutting through the sealant/bonding is really hard work, then your left with it all to grind off...

Grinding off ready for primer
