I'm going to have to stick to the originals for a while as the family come first and there is a holiday to pay for and probably a few zed meets as well.

 

[Sean d]

Got another 5 hours in today, mainly tinkering and stuff, I like tinkering, its gets all those little niggley things done. I sorted the corrosion on the hood as well, I did it wet on wet, acid etch, primer, structure build, base black and finished with mat lacquer,

 

[DavidM]

You work-a-holic! Good work!

 

[Antm72]

Thats a great job one i need to get done as mines corroded same place. Car is looking great is going to be a real eye catcher when done looking forward to seeing it at a meet next year

 

[Sean d]

Cheers guys, I'm going in on Saturday to paint the bumpers and mirrors, whilst there I will bake the car one last time and then it will be ready for its final polish, once thats done I can then fit the last remaining bits, oh and then refurb the wheels

 

[Sean d]

One for you @t-tony

 

[Jonno Bee]

Thanks Sean. I have enjoyed reading your account so far. You can't beat a Zed in blue!

Cheers,

Jonno

Cheers Jonno, I have thoroughly enjoyed keeping it going and reading the feedback, its just a shame Christmas got in the way

Christmas building Lego though is pretty good.I almost bought myself some as my three lads are too old for it, they say.

The scalextric also was great fun as was the Nerf guns and one is never to old for those.

Took my wife to see the car today, the last time she see it was on the drive in silver, think she looks happy enough, good job she doesn't drive,

Cheers Dave, we are planning on a couple and will most likely make the Lakes our first. Is there some sort of weird initiation as we will be cult Virgins

No initiation apart from the singing but newbies normally buy everybody on the cruise their meals and drinks

OK Dave that's fine as long as you don't mind sharing a bag of chips and a coke

 

[t-tony]

She certainly looks happy with it Sean. Maybe you'll be able to make it over to Torksey in September? Totally transformed the car from the last time I saw it mate.

Tony.

 

[Sean d]

I'm planning on some mini meets before September Tony, as soon as things warm up I'm hoping we can meet up for a cruise and lunch.

 

[t-tony]

I'll keep you posted mate, there's been a few here since September.

Tony.

Wow, good results. I have a small amount of corrosion there, nothing like the amount you had, that really is a cracking job.

The Derbyshire cruise would probably be a good one for you. Close to home and loads of us going so be good for meeting up with folks.
