It is with sad regret that I lost my dad last Thursday, he fought until the very end.

During February I had a photoshoot and my dad was present for that, he was a petrol head just like me. I was pleased he was able to there with me.

I'm sure the writer/editor won't mind me sharing one picture with you.

 

Unfortunately the pictures arrived 20 minutes after my father passed away and I never got to share them with him.

I never got to take him for a drive in the car either...

 

I hope to drive the car and show it off and make my dad proud of the project I have created, he was proud of what I had achieved.

Sorry to hear of your loss mate. I'm sure your father was and will forever continue to be very proud of what you've achieved - It's a mighty fine Z you have there.

Update time.

 

Not been updated for a while as not a lot has happened to be honest.

 

I attended wings and wheels show last August and on the way back I had a strange rattle , pulled over and decided to call the Rac. Ended up getting a flat bed back home.

 

I had to send the super charger back to vortex in the USA who rebuilt it.The bearings had failed and sheared the fins on the impeller. I Have had this under a year and wasn't covered under warranty.

By the time I got it back winter was approaching so it hasn't been out much.

 

 

 

To date this year I've fitted some rear louvres (Grundy ones) which I found for sale on Facebook and managed to get them before anyone.

Phase one completed this morning as I put my new Seibon carbon bonnet on before it goes to the body shop next week to have a few things done to it. Probably be a bit like marmite but at the moment I love it.
