[The-California-Man]

[Sir Percival]

Try and do a first fit of electrics before it goes for paint on the 12th Sept.

hi percy,have you sorted a paint guy out yet?caliman.

i must admit i cant wait to get mine back,just to have it back in the garage.im going over thursday to see how things are going.this was it last week.

I have to say that after the Bertini this would defo be my choice! JIM

The more I look at this kit the more I am swayed to doing one, being a panel beater and painter would make it very easy, however I couldn't bring myself to use my Z as its now got some sort of personal attachment, I could buy one just for the conversion, but as @littlefeller says, all the small stuff would bother me, I would without doubt fit the badges, very interesting thread by the way and I am looking forward to your updates.

Do you have a link to the one that sold for £45 k

 

[Sir Percival]

Sean, yep, here you go;

Beemaman is doing my paint job.

 

[Sir Percival]

Must admit, I am wandering around tidying up in the garage and at a bit of a loose end....plus the missus is now collaring me for all the jobs I have put off around the house

Seeing as this thread is about stripped down Z's and my car is now closely related to @Sir Percival 's car in that it's wearing some of his removed panels, I thought I'd post a more flattering pic of a Z stripped down:

I think they look great without a 'hood' and that engine on show. Anybody know of a Perspex replacement?

 

[Althulas]

I suppose you could buy a bonnet to use as a 'Buck'/'former' and if you can source a sheet of suitable Perspex large enough and have access to a large enough oven vac form one. Another one for mad mods @littlefeller

 

[Althulas]

Well I thought I would start the creative juices going even if it appears a bit mad

i DO have some sheets large enough for that

 

[Sir Percival]

Good idea Dino.......A big pile of bird guano might spoil the effect though
