Spare subframe cleaned, shot lasted and epoxy primed, and 3.46 diff cleaned and shot blasted. Might not go on any time soon as it'll be a slow build. Need to clean up and prep the rest of the rear end sat in the shed now!
Poly bushes next :D

This arrived today. Its taken just over 5 weeks to get here from when I ordered it. It wasn't too difficult to fit but the instructions are pretty poor if I'm honest.

I know these are popular with the ///M boys but there can't be too many other 3.0si zeds with one of these.

Unfortunately it started to rain just as I was putting my tools away so I've no idea how it sounds yet.

Before anyone tells me not to be so soft, we're off to a car show on Sunday and I'd just finish cleaning it.

Very nice . Did you happen to weigh them ? I just wondered if there is much difference in weight between them and stock ?

What brake lines have you got / getting for them ?

My set of scales don't go big enough there is probably no difference in the stock and these with the steel brackets etc.

I am ordering some Goodridge -3 600 stainless steel PTFE brake hose and some fittings as the old ones even though they where Goodridge they are a bit too short to be safe to dive it more then to turn it round in the street.

That is so touching. I didn't realise her final resting place was known.
