Sean d progress thread

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.
 
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,

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

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 :D

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

OK Dave that's fine as long as you don't mind sharing a bag of chips and a coke
 
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.
 
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.
 
I'll keep you posted mate, there's been a few here since September. :thumbsup:

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.
