Chemical Strip

[Dave B]

They quoted me 1500 all in for a Z. Yeah, basically Coca Cola lol, it really can't be good for your insides
They're only half an hour from me too, and can arrange transport which will help me.
I could get the shell stripped for way less than that by hand. It's just the impossible to get to areas that worry me about that

I'm currently considering going this route with the 260 shell that's coming. May even go the RHD conversion route as I now have all the parts.

Ah cool, have you got a bulkhead section to swap over? What else is required, dash, and steering rack?

I've got the brake/clutch spreader panel and a few other cuts. The original chassis number will stay where it is and I'll remove the existing spreader. I've got a dash, heater, column, rack, pedal box, RHD cowl. May rewire using a "painless harness". Depends on the condition of the existing loom.

All depends if the car needs a total strip down. If it doesn't then I'll just leave LHD, treat the rust and patch paint and make it a driver car that will appeal to the European market.

Ah wicked
I'm probably going to go down the painless/ez harness too, my loom was pretty messy and chopped into and feels very old/brittle. I'm also getting rid of a lot of standard stuff like air con, side markers etc, and prob keeping the engine injected but loosing all the emissions related ****, as well as swapping to a modern mappable Ecu so the engine will have its own loom anyway.

A friend of mine, who builds race car looms, has just bought a painless harness for his 105e and says its a no-brainer compared to building one. It looks like a really easy way to rewire a zed and simplify everything. At £200 its cheap too.
