mossy Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Rolled the rear lips just to be sure that the 225/45/16 tyres clear which they do, pics really don't do these wheels justice especially once its painted factory orange. Quote
RB30X Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Great work mate, I cant wait to see it painted and on the road. Quote
mossy Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 New colour picked out, non factory but period correct Quote

Scoota G Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 love the old colour, very cool will look tuff with your mags Agreed! Quote

I'll be in contact with you hopefully in the next month or so Pete to get the running gear fitted up. Good choice Mossy! Whens the colour going on? Getting the running gear fitted up by Pete soon then the rest of the car will be done Quote
mossy Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 I wouldn't quite say showcar but pretty close, I've bought a LOT of new parts for this car I think almost everything bar the gearbox has been stripped and rebuilt. Really looking forward to the end result and bringing it down to the xmas bbq this year Quote
peter mc Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 man it will look like a new car , the engine will love that new home Quote
mossy Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 Installed some fatmat the last couple of days, what a frickin PITA Quote
ZD44TT Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 way awesome!!........interested to know if your getting new carpet for it? I'm looking to carpet a zed soon too. Quote
mossy Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 Not sure about new carpet yet, I bought some a few years ago when I had this car on the road but the fit wasn't the best, probably the best way to get fitting carpet would be to go to a motor trimmers but I think that would cost quite a bit unless anyone knows of any other options?

SS30RR Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 what does the silver foil paper do? is it sound deadening stuff? Quote
chartoo Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 How many square meters of sound deading did you use? Quote
mossy Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 what does the silver foil paper do? is it sound deadening stuff? Yep, its sound deadening How many square meters of sound deading did you use? Probably about 60 of 100sq m so far (done the roof as well) I'm going to do the doors and hatch as well with whats left Quote
SS30RR Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 have to say what an awesome colour. that, the eggplant purple and darn brown are all time classics.........well done. (non of this wangan midnight blue rubbish) Quote
Scoota G Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Great job on the sound deadening looks perfect. What sort of cost did that involve? Quote
mossy Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 Lots of little jigsaw pieces if there Scoota but it will all be under the carpet so it won't be seen. I think the cost was around $350 delivered for 100 sq ft, a big chunk of that cost was shipping from the US. Quote
Scoota G Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Probably about 60 of 100sq m so far (done the roof as well) I'm going to do the doors and hatch as well with whats left I thought 100 square meters was a lot Quote
mossy Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 Ha Ha, yeah that would have done a few cars Quote
mossy Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 Assembled some interior and bolted some panels back on last couple of weeks, next job this weekend it to remake all the brake/clutch lines with new zinc tubing and flare nuts, this will be interesting Quote
mossy Posted May 12, 2012 Author Posted May 12, 2012 Fitted some new brake and fuel lines with my eastwood pro flaring tool and some new bundy tubing, all I can say is what a major PITA! The old lines were useless to work with as they must have been removed a thousand times and were pretty mangled so I could only use them as a rough guide for the new lines. So in the end I used a quite a bit of bundy as I would start a line then have to start again to get a bend in the right spot or I would forget to put the flare nut on after flaring and bending , this isn't something I'd like to do again, in saying that the flaring tool was a breeze to work with, a few seconds for a mint flare!
