Trial fit to see if the rad panel is in the right place.View attachment 35318 View attachment 35319
Decided to make a new rad mounting panel. As I don't need the holes for the air ducts and wiring looms there was no point trying to make a copy of the original. The centre strut is just holding things in place temporarily. Started making up the right side. Left side tomorrow then make a top panel to mimic the original.
All this was missing when I got the car.
Almost enjoying this

Happy with my weekends work
hopefully get Christine in there next week and start playing with me blasters!..
Not Z related however I've officially passed all of my tests and now the proud owner of a full A license! Quite fortunate to pass everything first time as I wouldn't have had time to retest before leaving the country, another expensive hobby to fund now....

Careful now Tim. You know Christine's reputation. I wouldn't go upsetting her with your blasters
Snuggled someone up for winter:
Still inflating in the pics; first time I’ve used one of these but impressed with how quickly it goes up. Took the opportunity of no rain and reasonably dry roads to take the Z over to the barn. I’ve got the drying vent open though just to make sure.
Now to move Dixie home, once I get a decent quote for covered transport. I don’t want to move it unless it’s dry/is undercover, given the Novol bodywork primer is hydroscopic.
Bought a new toy
Where did you guys get that rotisserie from? I hired a pretty similar one over 10 years ago to put the fastback on (£2 a day!) it worked a treat ... must dig out a pic.
As for the Z, I dusted it dow, removing a lot of crap from the top that had been collecting dust ...
I’m going to move it over a bit as I’m replacing the single-glazed window with a double-glazed one.
Ade Foreman engineering. Either floor mounted/ on wheels ( the one I have got) or a monster on wheels that will take a complete BIG car.Where did you guys get that rotisserie from?
