Does the bottom of the sump unbolt, allowing it to be removed?

[Graedat]

yeah that's right Luvem, the plate is just sitting on top without the bolts in.

Well seeing I want to have a go at spraying the Z myself I was having a look at spray guns on Gumtree. I stumbled across a spray booth, its 7m long by 2m wide by 2.3m high with a large 3 phase fan. I called the guy who had it in his factory and it came with a compressor and many other spares 4 guns air line blah blah.

We agreed to a price the only catch was that I had to remove it myself. Anyway with some modification widening and strengthening so I can fit a car in it I will have a beasty booth for a crazy cheap price.

I plan on making it 4m wide and adding double doors to the front. It has glass in the roof and windows up both sides. I will lay the slab down for it in a few weeks.

 

 

 

The first pic is the large induction section which sits at the back of the booth and the fan and flue sits on top.

Noice score 

So now we can do wheel alignments AND touch up our paint at your place 

[Graedat]

Actually Luvem, the wheel alignment computer has fried. I had a go at setting up the other day and the pc wouldnt boot.I had a look at it and its early 90s technology so I think it was only a matter of time before it fried. I will attempt to reinstall the software on a rainy day but it may end up in the bin.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before you bin it. Ill grab it and give it to one of the electronics engineers here, if you'd like. They might be able to get it going.

[Graedat]

I will let you know when I have had another look at it.

Mate be carful if you live in a residential area. If you get caught spraying 2 pack even with a booth you will get slapped with a massive fine. A booth will make it look more sus.

[Graedat]

i am on 4 acres with farms around me.

[zzzzed]

No problems then.

Update on the engine today .

 

I need to move the dipstick location and in most blocks there is a brass plug. Well my block doesn't have anything! So I drilled it out and machined up a blank as replacement.

[Graedat]

Blank made up and the dipstick moved over.

 

[Graedat]

Brief update everyone. We will be moving house in August so work has slowed. I dropped the RB in and conected up all the mounts and it fits well.

After the move then I will get to work on her again.

 

Cheers

Graeme.

Ooohh..lovely!

[zzzzed]

Nice work. It sits right back in the by like mine does 

[Graedat]

Wow, I cant believe it has been over a year since I have worked on the zed!!!!

 

Well we have moved successfully and I am currently putting up a workshop at the new place. The booth is finished and I cannot wait to get back into it. When the shed goes up and the hoist goes in I can put my shelving up I will sort out all my parts and get back into stripping her down.

 

Stay tuned.

Graeme.

Looks like a good restart, booth and all! Your very fortunate as most of us users don't have that luxury.

Keep up the updates!
