The car is almost ready…I bet tomorrow will be just missing the interior…for sure I’ll be driving it…


Hope you enjoy these last works on the car…

Lots of progress there Mario - well done. I hope you insure it well before you drive it.

I like the colour.

Thanks Rob! tomorrow I plan to glue all the rubbers and some other parts and finish doors.

By the end of the day I will enjoy a small ride...

Hi again!

The car runs and drives very good…but I’m moving it to another shop for the past details.

The tunings will not be deep, but will consist in verifying the electrical system with the addition of new connectors, recovering a corner on the dash, applying the centre console, tuning the front bumpers and correcting the leather parts on the back!

The wheels will be recovered into the original charcoal colour!

These works will make the car looks better and will make me rest fine…I’m tired of waiting…


Let’s go to the works:



Interior glass trim.

Peters: Thank you! Next time you'll see some more details...that's the missing part and the reason to move the Z to another garage!

Hi friends,

The Z is still on the mechanic, I think this year, 2019, will finish the resto! I hope!!!ahahahha

The ca ris almost done, the exceptions are related to some metal work and the systems that have to be revisioned like the brake system, fuel system. The interiors need some detail attention and that’s it…sound a bit like quick things, but it’s not!

But the car already has the MOT and left the garage for a marriage…ahahahah…

Let’s see the photos…


Regards

Mário

Thank you! That pile of wood will be light up from 25 to 31 December. It's a religious scene. And the Z got to be in front of it...

Thank you! I hope it will be usefull...specially for the hard things to do and search! This month I'll go again to a shop in order to finish properly the metal job. Next time I'll bring a professional work on photo!
