Good and bad day today

Found some bad rust on the passenger door, so needs a new one of those.

But apart from that- progressed well.

Yesterday got new OSF and OSR wings in good condition- so they are going on this weekend.
Hit the interior today- cleaned, carpet scrubbed, seats out and ready for recolouring. Dash etc cleaned. Hood roof cleaned.
Stripped the boot so I can see the roof motor ready to sort that ****er
Front bumper off ready for repainting
New HL brake light fitted

Now it doesn't smell I feel better about it!

And met Rob (Zulu4) today when he popped over- good to meet another forum member!

I have a rust spot (size of a hand) on my passenger door.

Question is have it repaired or replace it????

Same colour as yours as well

 

[bigwinn]

I’m going for a door from a breaker; the guy I picked the wings up from has a complete unit for £70 and at that point it’s bolt on- done

Started today restoring the seats- out the car and recoloured- then reinstalled.
Sorted the locking solenoid on the central console
Polished the headlights
Got into the scuttle to clean and unblock drains- oh my goodness what a state-
Took the badly corroded wing off- no time to fit the new one

Please let me know how you get on with the replacement door re. Colour match

Will do

The wings so far look a good match…

Bumper repaint worries me

Go on.. finish the full areo kit off: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203654674362?hash=item2f6ac3b7ba:g:4pUAAOSwN3FhYvON

BW if you are on FB there is a guy called Martin Key who makes up the kit for the DRLs. I “think” it was about £35! HTH

If I hadn’t just bought a new set of black 107s I’d have pressed ‘buy’

Nice

Makes a difference from the usual stock without looking aftermarket

 

[bigwinn]

Fitted new 107’s which I am pleased with- I know black wheels are marmite and personal preference…

Add me to the cracked spring crew. Glad I’ve got spares.

Well either you have an OCD hedgehog dumping on your drive or the MOT man was blind (or very well paid!)

You might say that- I couldn’t possibly comment

:thumbsdown:

 

[Zulu4]

Nice.
The wheels are a massive improvement over the ones you showed me the other day.

Stuart, you have too much time on your hands. Is this what you call WFH? However, I really enjoy reading your threads and am almost tempted to buy another Z.
Cheers
