[Machine monkey]

Thanks Lux hopefully he will get used to me

Thanks Ross (i will try and get a meet put together middle - end of September) Busy again at the moment getting my mates Supra ready for the 14th.

Hi Andy yeah not long now for our little trip I cant wait. There are a few small problems on the paint close up.... Where i burnt through on tight corners when polishing!! I will fix them but not any time soon i want to drive it for a while!!

The dog is mad!!

Thanks Niel i will get better pictures over the weekend. You cant see in the pictures but i have made some side skirts too. I just need to get some gloss black wrap now to do some finishing touches.

Well done, your Zed looks mint now! Not too sure on the spoiler though. I do like the splitter at the front

 

[DPG]

Looks great Matt.

Reminds me of Nogaro / Jazz blue

 

[Machine monkey]

Thanks Bad the spoiler is very marmite. I like it has some nice machined brackets that i made and in my mind is very TVR Stagaris and thas not a bad thing to me.

Thanks DPG its not a BM colour as such. Its as close as i could find to blue used on NEW BM bike frames.

I have had a few spare evenings. And i used this years last holiday ( i get more in October) to clean the car and do a few little jobs. Just a nice day pottering around. Didn't do as much as i wanted. The inside and door shuts still need cleaning. And there is a little overspray hear and there that needs cleaning off still. as you lot like pictures hear goes.
Clean monkey fleet,



So yesterday i set about spraying some bits black.



And then a bit of gloss black.

 

[aquazi]

Thats looks truly epic... The black bits are subtle and prob look better in real life.

The only thing which lets the front down is that number plate.... Not a fan of the font... And would look better removed and in the boot!!

 

[jakblade]

Looking really tasty. Liking those new blue dangly exhaust tips. Are they part of a new MM range of mods????

 

[Machine monkey]

Thanks Aquazi means a lot. The car had been an ugly ducking for a while. And its been a lot of work getting it to where it is. I am really proud of it and my many hours hard work.

I hear what your saying about the number plate. But i have a few long drives coming up soon. And i could do without the hassle of being pulled over. Its only a stick on job. The wife has mentioned birthday presents and i might be getting a shorter number plate hopefully.

Thanks Jakblade the dagaly blue tips i can do really cheap if you want some... LOL

 

[Machine monkey]

Next up is a wheel referb re polish the faces and spray the insides gloss black to match.

 

[Jollyjoiner]

Looking good Matt

Hello machine monkey!

I am one of those boring people who likes to keep things original. But even I can say that painting those bits black really made the car look much nicer!

I am impressed by work! Well done!

 

[markplant]

Cars looking well nice mat top work

 

[MrPT]

That is looking immense!

There is nothing wrong with that. And if i had brought a pristine example i would probably have done the same. I brought mine as a bit of a dog and i hope i am giving it a new lease of life

Thanks that's very kind.

 

[Machine monkey]

Thanks JE,Mark and MrPT.

I am already planing the what next bits.... So i will finally finish all the paint work off over the winter. And refurbish my wheels. They are really looking bad on the car now. They used to be the best bit funny it was this time last year i started building the spray booth!! No point rushing a job and all that!!

Then i will be fitting my bigger brakes either giving my calipers a good overhaul or fit some brembos. I think the latter will probably happen. And the same time i think i will add braided lines and fit new brake lines front to back. As the car is getting on a bit now.

Then the bit i am really looking forward to. Ditching the stupid electric steering and putting in a hydrology system. Probably go for a z3 rack as its 2.7 turns lock to lock. But a 330 rack is still only 3 turns. What ever i can get at the right price.

I would then love bucket seats a cage and to ditch the standard steering wheel. But i know i cant afford all that at the moment.

Any way pictures i know you like them. Got my new plate on


Also made a different profile spoiler. I know its marmite but i like it and that all that matters right.
