Owned my Zed for 2 weeks today, so a little update -

Named her Ace

Full service, brake fluid, diff fluid, 4 new springs and diff bush last week.

This week it's time to start the temporary repairs to the sill ends, with a view to hopefully replacing them one Winter.

Inner liner off and remove all the crud - I would recommend this to anyone, even if your sills are good, cause this is where the rot starts.

Good clean out and rub down/grind away as much rust as possible.

Coating of Kurust for good measure

Then a few coats of Hammerite - (only doing it this way as its black) and some under seal below.

That'll do meantime - interesting to see how long it lasts - better than bubbling paint at the sill ends.

Good work @Redsheep. Nice idea to use the hammerite as a temporary measure. Should hold out for a good while i reckon.
 
Great write up :p
Job well done :)
 
New boots all round...old ones were fine, but noticed they were all dated 2005, so time for a change.

Detailing time now.

Detailing finished....boy was that paint hard!

Got rid of all the swirl marks, but some pretty deep scratches that won't shift.....or at least I won't try to shift.

Looks good and soooo smooth.

Look forward to next weekend at the Scottish meet.
