Can I put the rear plastic interior trim back in before Donnington or is this also too risky a work schedule before Saturday 🤔

If you do put samuri's together, please add my car to end of line as built by him in 1990/91 just not to full samuri spec but historic race car. DaZ was originally made in May 1970.

This morning just ran engine with his worked cylinder head fitted . Sounding sweet. Hope he heard it.

DaZ engine slipped in nicely today. Had it briefly running.

R G Taylor's of Eynesbury, St Neots near to me done repairs and painting. They do high end (Bentley, Ferrari etc) cars, some classics and the odd DPD vans! They said really enjoyed working on Z.

Black. Paul did try racing car with spolier fitted, but preferred the look without it fitted. It came with car and I prefer the look with it fitted.

Whole car has been painted as it previously was and left Spike's workshop April 1991 ready for Paul Stafford to race. Because it looks the same, some people have commentated "what have you done?" When you see car you'll realise it has been finished to a much higher standard than it left paint...

What's a "spolier"? Anyway, black is the new in! Does that mean I've already blown my chances of an award from one judge at Donnington! Bodyshop shop manager thinks I should pimp the wolfrace wheels with cranberry body colour painted in the wheels to be seen through the slots. My wife likes the...

Just got DaZ home from bodyshop today. 400 hours over 5 months spent repairing body shell and bare metal respray plus refitting all glass. I'm refitting interior trim and seats this weekend and then it's off to have engine fitted next week. Still looking good to be at Donnington.

I have back from Birmingham Carburetors my Hitachi carbs with new brass shafts and bronze bushes. All looks really nice. With rebuilt engine will be going back into car in 3-4 weeks time. Come and talk to me at Donnington to ask how they are working.

I should be on the "booked" list. Just got to get the car finished and running 🤞

Will be keeping the paint scheme done by samuri Conversions in the winter of 1990/91 when preparing the car for historic racing for Paul Stafford, Jaguar Cranberry with Toyota Amethyst Silver detailing. I want to maintain some of the car's history.

My DaZ is in the paint shop with primer nicely cooking. Next week I collect carbs from Tony at Birmingham Carburetors.

Ridgard RS9's waiting to be fitted.

Been to see DaZ at bodyshop today. Welding work almost finished, paint stripped back and filled ready to start prepping for painting soon.
