Bust my Zed!!!!

[Stevo7682]

@Chrisr1949 sorry to see the damage doesn't look too bad.
There is a second alien looking at the 1st one

Just wondering if I should repair it or sell it to Steven Spielberg!

A big to all for your offers of help and support. Jaguartvr has a Topaz donor car and with his kind help can fix me up with all that I need and he's even offered to help me to fit them. So it's a big thanks to him, I can't believe my luck

Bad news about your problems but great that you've been helped. It's what the forum is all about. Good man @jaguartvr

Hi all, I've been getting on with the repairs needed to get down to @jaguartvr for the parts swop, provisionally next Sunday. The bumper was cracked, temporary repaired, the ally crash beam was bent, straightened, the bonnet lip bashed out and @jaguartvr has posted me the headlight so that just leaves the lights to be fitted and realigned ready for the trip down. I'm looking forward to getting the Zed back to better than before. Thanks again jaguartvr

Good news Chris, hope all goes well mate.

Tony.

Better that before? The bumper had already had a bash before I bought it. I was going to remove it next year and get it painted, so the money saved goes towards buying these. More than one person has said that if it had to happen this is the right time.

I still don't know what the ailen was in the first pic. Must have just been my reflection

 

[t-tony]

Why, you an Alien then Chris?

Tony.

 

[Chrisr1949]

Well...you look in the mirror and you never really know what it is that stares back.

Sorry @jaguartvr but this is a week late!
Left home at 05.40 last Sunday 9th, travelled down to Marlow to meet Steve and do the bonnet and bumper swap. He'd already posted me the headlamp to make the car legal for the 210 mile trip down. All were in excellent condition and the colour match was A1. Steve was totally helpful and we had the job done in a couple of hours. By 12:30 we'd finished and I was on my way home and after a couple of stops one involving a power nap I got home at 6:40pm, 426 miles for the day, I think the most I'd driven in a day! Up to busting my car and still being relatively new to Zedding I had no idea of the kit replica possibilites of these cars so I found that interesting.
All in all I've got to say a big thank you to @jaguartvr for all his help and also to his wife for stealing him on her birthday and making these panels available to me at just the right time. Also thanks once again to all who messaged me with support.
I'm SORNing it Jan to April to save a bob or two, get the panel gaps right, and do a few jobs on it ready for 2019 Spring.
A great outcome

Glad you got back ok, long drive for you but hopefully worth it.
