Changed to much better Zimmermann Coat Z sport discs. Looks so much better than the 13 yr old rusty ones!

Ha - I wondered if anyone else thought that. I did, and my god did I check. Strangely these are not handed / sided discs but the drill pattern makes you naturally expect that they are. The internal vents are perpendicular to the circumference and the Zimmermann data sheet states they are for O/S and N/S.lucasxdiniz wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 11:18 amLooks like they sent you two O/S front discsAndrews.Rick wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 10:48 am Changed to much better Zimmermann Coat Z sport discs.

But, I agree they look a little odd.

I’m planning on doing a load when I take mine off the road over winter. I don’t know wether to sink original parts, or go all in and make moulds. Making moulds will take longer & more expense, but if I master the art I may try larger parts such as the exterior panels. There is a great company https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/ who sell everything you need. They have a Learning Area section with videos on different techniques. One even shows you how to make a car bonnet from start to finish.

Changed the front brakes, pads and calipers. I painted the new calipers and the rears.
Tomorrow will change the pad censor that was fried (didn't throw up a light on the dash) and an oil change.

Bought it already skinned and 2k clear coated from ebay so still have the original trim, it's not perfect by any means, a little imperfection on the side of the centre console and a few dust marks in the clear coat if you look closely but so much better than my tired and scratched trim i had before.Ladderman wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2020 4:08 pmgreat job mate Did you skin the original trim yourself?Jamie-innes wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 1:12 pm Finished off my install of carbon fibre trim

I had looked at that company before but it's way beyond my skill and I just don't have the time and money to put into learning.
I look forward to seeing a progress thread though if you go ahead, would be interesting to see, maybe even a little forum earner if you get handy with it
