Project Maldives

[bigwinn]

Not been on the forum that much recently- work and life getting in the way

In the intervening periods of calm I have however been working on this beauty- which is off for its MOT on Thursday fingers crossed

This car has been by far the most enjoyable to work on ever- super clean underneath, everything in good order.

Its had the full experience: vanos, engine preventables, new uprated 300mm brakes at the front, new suspension all round and two transplanted wings from project maldives part 2!

I popped my m-sport electric and heated seats in for effect and I cant wait to give it a good drive to and from the test station!

Absolutely lovely colour, still one of the best on the Zed can’t imagine it won’t pass the MOT if it’s in such a good state and has had that much work done 8)

Will probably fail due to that rubber trim hanging loose across the engine bay.

Wow, amazing job Stuart, looks great with the new seats . . . and the new wings of course.
Good luck with the test on Thursday.

Well tbf, I spent 5 minutes trying to work out why it had an extra brace bar on that side.

Looking good though mate. Wheels suit it well.
Hopefully you'll take time to enjoy this one yourself for a while?

 

[bigwinn]

I think so- I have a feeling I will have a soft spot for this one!

That's looking great so I can understand why you'd want to enjoy it yourself for a while!

Good luck with the MOT.

That's my favourite Zed colour. You've made a 19 year old car look mint.
