didn't get much time until now over the past few weeks to continue the work on the Zed but I have restarted the project to see if I can get it ready for the club anniversary in Coventry next month

 

so started with a rear wiper delete

managed to crack one of my sidesteps in a curve so that needs repairing aswell

slowly getting there...

 

and started filling the aches a lot more as I wasn't happy with the first filling

after loads and loads of filling I have started the sanding as well

and since I cannot see how good it looks without an even coat of colour I have done my ultra violet as well on here and it does look much better then before although I have a few more small marks to fill with some ultra fine filler after

plus after a good needed wash I thought I might add the Tarmac Sportz window stickers as well ;)

new issue identified as I am loosing slowly pressure from my driver side bag,hopefully is just a loose connector or so :surrender: will need to sort it tomorrow

I'd HAVE to stock wheel it until the dirty work was done....... Getting there pal

just a bit of filler dust Davey...not worth the hustle as the car got washed after ;)

bit of an extra to play around with,I have thought I take my door handles off and dip them in black matt as I have a spray not being used and try some clear on top...see if I like the finished product otherwise will just spray paint them so here is the result so far

 

handle off

cleaned of graffiti coat

 

19458458_1364796596889324_2054989548_n_zpsdoxk9i0p.jpg

 

the 2 products I used

 

19458173_1364796593555991_382311628_n_zpsbw0dcwep.jpg

 

and the preliminary results once I applied the clear

19489499_1364796586889325_403544970_n_zpsk3rjutwz.jpg

 

I have made sure that I applied many coats of dip as this is key in removing the product if the finish is not what I am after plus I have only done 1 coat of clear

bit of a thread revival,

 

since my front bumper needed rewrapping I decided to try and use my original plan of Autoflexing purple the car and do the bumper first to see if I am pleased with the final result

 

if all ok I shall do the whole car over the next week as I have a bit of time on my hands at the moment

 

so things I have done today were 4 coats of high build primer black and 3 coats of spray wrap pro purple

sooooo.....here she is again with a new colour,this time I have gone back to purple Autoflex but did not use the Gloss as it's a nightmare if I don't do it in a spray booth

 

quite pleased with it and sort of getting there...;)

about time I get a bit more work done on my Zed and after thinking which way to take this project ... I decided that I will do a Blackout :stir:

so instead of forking out £4k for a full respray I looked for the last few weeks for a kuro black zed with just front damage/engine damage and a good paint and when I found this advert I thought This is it,now is the time

 

here's the donor:

so early morning drive to Liverpool yesterday and got the boot/rear bumper/doors/a pillars and side steps

 

and today already changed my A pillars

might sound like a crazy idea for some but I think should be at least half cheaper to do then getting a full respray

 

wish me luck LOL :lol:
