Keyser Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Afternoon Well after spending the day on Papa's car yesterday we rolled Suzi back in and jacked her up last night ready for some more fun with the zorst. So back at it today - Started the passenger side down pipe - didn't take as long as the drivers side for some reason Drivers side down pipe fitted Then Buster arrived (after his lie in ) and started fitting the original back on Wasso joined him - not sure what they were doing down there for so long Then Buster wanted to try his hand at welding again (only his second attempt) Not bad just needs practice Getting better So after Buster had finished we finished the drivers side It was mid to late afternoon by then and Wasso got a text (we think from his better half) saying something like "Have you finished that B********* car yet???? " So he headed off home and Buster and I prep'd the Radical for Castle Combe tomorrow Zed Shed Crew Signing off for another day 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 nice one Chris.... and thanks both for a super weekend, despite the Smurf hijacking Saturday! Still productive to say the least. I'll get order the necessary parts this evening for the intake and coolant hoses. I'll also upload that video in a bit....... should be humorous......

Vlad Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 oh... I was going to ask my usual question, but looks like you had few problems, so I won't ask it as don't want to p*ss you off even more.... IS IT READY YET? On a serious note, well done for staying strong minded and finding new solutions! It will be worth it! I might pop down one weekend to help out and may be even show Keyser what Russian BBQ is (I wonder who is gonna be 1st one with a dirty comment? ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 No it's not FINISHED yet Vlad, and for that when she is DONE, you can drive me to Dorset on the day of collection (for the unnecessary pestering!) Video, which is in fact two videos cut into one before anyone notices. I found it quite humorous with the lifting and dropping of masks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot350 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I can supply you with some stainless 8mm thick flanges if you need some? One of the ones in the picture looks really thin? Got some laser cut for a mate of mine but sure he can spare a few. Come to think of it he still owes me for them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some laser cut for a mate of mine but sure he can spare a few. Come to think of it he still owes me for them! Will let you know on that - the thin ones were actually cut from the OEM CATs then cut out a bit to allow for the 2.5" pipe. It is sort of a temporary thing at the moment though - it may all change later - it may not As I say will let you know Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 This is literally a temporary solution to get the car mobile. We aren't technically too far away from getting done. Major jobs: Wiring loom and ECU Fuelling Throttle Data Logger/Race Dash Not so major and to be completed fairly soon: Oil filter relocated Coolant pipes Power Steering pipes Air intake Once they're done we are mobile. Then I can take her to any garage of choice for exhaust in my time rather than occupying the Zed Shed for months. Stay tuned........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Right, 4 of us had a little spare time this morning and we came up with this design for the propshaft bracket on Darren's 240z. This is a v2 improved design based on Keyser's v1 design shown on this very thread, application for the patent already submitted with IPO. #teamtomato glrnet, darrenb, doogyrev, octet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Very flimsy! And is that a wood type screw you are using? With zip tyres What happened to the original brackets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Sorry she's sort of on hold whilst Chris demolishes Zed Shed 1 to build Zed Shed 2........ Well, when I say "sort of" I should say "IS" on hold. Just waiting on a window of opportunity when Chris isn't hands on with his house build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Hey now don't blame me - if Suzi had not been delayed for 8 weeks while the first garage did nothing worthwhile then ............... well to be fair we still would not be finished But now I have to build the whole car and do the wiring etc etc not to mention I have to build another prop mount that is actually strong enough for a cruise liner before this lot will be happy things have gone a little bit off track The good news is we should at least have a bit more space in the new and improved Zed Shed 2 to crack on with this build. In the interval please read other build threads - Andybp has a good one, DarrenB's is awesome and if your really stuck try http://www.350z-uk.c...uild-starts-p4/ which is a thread on how to build a kitchen big enough that the wife will let you dig up most of the back garden to build a new garage Edited June 15, 2015 by Keyser 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
