Hello and Welcome

I said earlier wait till you see what turns up this week - well it arrived today Its sort of a mod - it will at least be used "on" the car any guesses Anders you and Buster are excluded Other than that been cleaning again - Just started on this That's all folks .......................

Don't sit on the fence what do you really think?

That will be tracktime I presume. I will put a more formal post up nearer the time with costs etc, this is just a "well you were told" thread. I'll give you 2 guesses you'll only need one No worries will keep an eye out

Winter wheels Hmmm nope don't need them

Im in if shes on the road

Good evening, if you are up with Zedshed affairs then you will know I spent most of Saturday upgrading the Ginger Ninja see - viewtopic.php?f=100&t=55728 Did a bit Saturday night and with an assist from Buster we did a bit more this afternoon. I have to start with a special request - Andlid wanted to know what the other side looked like, here ya go mate - And on with the show - We removed the back bumper Then we took this big thing out from under the car - that should save some weight Next we raised her up a bit to give better access for the cleanup underneath "Roads? We don't need roads" Looking quite empty underneath now! In other news I've been starting work on the rear Sub-frame / Diff hanger first up was a dam good clean Then to the body shop (Tarpaulin hung from the wall) A coat of acid etch primer then the top coat Rare action shot (my good lady sneaked in with a coffee and took it) The finished product Resplendent in Urban red, that should add 50 BHP and they always say red is faster That's all folks ...........................

Hello and Welcome

OK I'm on a roll now..... Boss came in about 3pm and said "You work to hard go and spend some time on that Zed of yours" So this afternoons job - Clean these up and repair the sheared bolts. Clean up Ground out the old bolts then got some of these and ground one side out. Stuck them in and put a bit of weld into the missing bit All good again That's all folks ...................

I tested it to past torque requirement before I cleaned it up

When we took the suspension out of my Zed we discovered this problem Leaving Buster looking like this (had to get that pic in again ) Anyways I droped into a local machine shop who does some bits n bobs for me and asked him to see what he could do with it. Got this back today That should cheer him up a bit See ya tomorrow mate.

Got watch him Ian he has his moments Congrats to the buyer

Hello and Welcome If it was a second care then it may very well be low mileage Some owners on here don't do over 1000 miles in a year so it is possible

Is it any good? Its great what you mean you can't tell! Thats it your of my Christmas card list If you had ever seen one you would know it is supposed to look like that I'll get you a pic of the other side tomorrow just to keep ya happy

If you've been following the strip out you may remember that Buster and Karatechimp broke my car I will admit I knew it was going to break I just got them to confirm it so I could pass the buck. Anyway it left me with a broken (sheared) rear sub frame mounting pin/bolt which is welded into the car during assembly making it a pain to repair/replace. I originally considered getting a replacement section from a breakers yard and welding that in but that meant cutting into the box section of the car! Buster and I did try cutting a new thread into the remaining bolt but it was just to short to be a good safe fix. Zmanalex made the (now) obvious suggestion that I weld the broken piece back on, although this was a no go as the snapped bit was too short, rusty and bent to be used, however it did point me in the direction for the next attempt at a fix I decided on. So while out and about today I picked up an M14 bolt from a local supplier cut the head of it and ground a step in the top to allow a good weld pool. I then cut the broken stud down and prepared that with a similar grove - My daughter held the new piece in place and I tack welded them together. Confirmed correct alignment and then welded it together properly. I cleaned of any excess weld and gave it a quick sand down. The end result was - The next pics are for Buster who was worried about welding a new bit in and keeping it square to the car Front to rear alignment Left to right alignment lastly with the bush insert (the washers are to pack it to it's true location as there is a cross member that sits below the bush.) I am in all honesty well chuffed with the result. That's all folks ...................
