10 years! Time flys... Jamo drops into my shop with his Z a few months ago. Unfortunately he'd clipped a wombat with it which had shattered the spoiler and damaged the RH front guard, and he wanted to know if we could fix the guard and paint it. Not a problem. In July he dropped it off. Jamo had fixed the fibreglass spoiler himself, but the guard had a crease in it, so we tapped the crease out and then prepped it for paint. Straightening the guard: Feathering the paint back: Base coat: Clear: The Z got a cut and polish, then we reassembled it:

Time flies, a year between updates! House reno's have unfortunately taken priority over the Zed but lately have been making a little bit of time to get a few things done which is exciting. Posting here to try and keep myself motivated as much as anything - slow progress is better than no progress. Got the car out of the shed and gave it a quick wash with the wheels on all round - still a big fan of the colour and the wheel combination. Finally finished off the bulk of the wiring and installed the fuse box in its final location. Final hurdle was getting the LED indicators working but using an electronic flasher unit (Narva Flasher Unit LED 12V 2 Pin 68249BL) sorted it out. Will likely need to sort out a cover for the fuse box eventually given how close it is to the accelerator pedal. Made a start on cleaning up the quarter glass. Next step is to install seals all around for windows & doors. And also finished off the last section of exhaust so it doesn't sound like a monster truck and I can move the car around shortly. Not the greatest welding job (or most tightly tucked exhaust) but it will do for now. Fairly happy with how it sounds as well. Has a nice rumble and a bit of a choppy idle too. Quick video (with my temporary fuel tank) below: Next steps are finish off the rear brakes so it can finally move and stop under its own steam!
