Valy's Zed build #Rocket Bunny >The Blackout<

Recommended Posts

Next task was pending....so since I have finished earlier my job today I will spend some time working on the Zed....or better said learning more about what can go wrong.... :doh:

 

gathered all the tools and started taking the strut bar off and the upper plenum....with a bit of hustle managed to do all that and ready for the APS plenum...

 

all went ok with most of the bolts but at the end just to find out that the previous owner had one of the middle top bolts snatched... :bang:

so now I need somehow to remove that without damaging anything around ... but

 

thought since is getting late I will just try the cover on see how it looks and continue in the morning... :blink:

Well...incurable Zeditus... :stir:

 

Guess I for one will just bite the bullet and order the Rocket Bunny Kit today from Knight Racer.

 

For this price...well will just see how things pan out over the coming months...

 

Not a quick build but hope to get the car transformed for next year Japfest :ninja:

decent quality I would say at first look although I am far from being an expert...will see how it all lines up as I think that will be my main concern...need to find a good garage near me soon that is up for the challenge !

kit came from Knight Racer in UK

 

The original kit from Greddy is about 3.5k without delivery to UK and I think a 6 to 8 week production frame...

 

I for one cannot justify that price for a car bodykit..... so I bought a replica made here and once I find a good fitter will get to work on it and will update this thread :)

 

forgot to mention this only costed 1.3k delivered the next day
