Bit more done on the ZED today.

Decided to paint the whole front end. Wasn't going to bother as the paint from the factory was still in pretty good condition but thought why not, it'll all help to keep the rust away.

Sanded back with some coarse 3M pads and then finished of with some 2000 grit wet and dry along the top panel to provide a nice smooth surface ready for some base coat -







That bit took ages and I now have quite a sore thumb. With jobs like this though it's in the prep where it counts !

Base coat down -











And then a few coats of clear lacquer -















Quite happy with the outcome of today's work. Didn't manage to get the turrets done though as it was getting quite late by the time I'd finished that and light was fading. Job for next weekend !

Went to the my local scrap yard yesterday and managed to get a few bits too -



All quite sought after bits for just a few copper coins. I would've had the Black Oak dash fascia too but whoever went in the car before me had broken it in half, such a shame !

If anyone's got the dash fascia in black oak they want to part with then feel free to drop me a PM with a price.

Anyway, that's this weekends progress.

Jay.
