Sean d progress thread

When is the production run eta?
 
im messing about with low riders screen at the moment, going to try different curvatures at the top and see whats best then i can start making them, so in the next couple of weeks.
 
looks good but defo needs to be either flat on top or a much more subtle radius

Cheers pal, I made the fixing brackets today and just sat it in place as I am going to lower the radius, I don't want a plat top as every thing else about a Z has curves

agreed, i dont think it will look right with a flat top, a radius is much better, good looking brackets:thumbsup:

Thanks pal, I used your idea but found some 3mm acrylic for the 2 out pieces, it makes them 11mm in total rather then 15mm
 
i used a small piece of rubber tube inserted through a small hole to hold the screen in the brackets (just in case it rattles), i did try magnets (really small extra strong ones used in shop fittings, this works very well.

yeh i did the same, after i dropped the magnet idea i didnt need them to be so thick

I don't think it will rattle as they are a very snug fit, just slightly tight and need a little tap to get them fully on :thumbsup: I also sprayed them with texture coat and mat black
 
Looking at your picture from the rear of the car Sean, I would copy the curve of the windscreen onto your wind up blocker and have it higher at the sides. That would look very nice I reckon.

Good plan Tony but to be honest it already looks a bit on the large side so I wouldn't want to raise the sides at all, I'll drop the radius and see how it looks
 
Next job, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, was going to be the new tyres for the wheels but I now have my eye on something else ;)
 
Looking good. Loving how that colour looks even on a dull day.

I'm patiently waiting to see those fresh 108's fitted to the car (don't forget some rear spacers)!

Thanks pal, the problem I have is that when I fit the wheels I want to get the full effect, which means, I need the spacers, Eibach 30mm springs and painted blue calipers, the z fund has a couple of hundred in it so I am trying to be patient but its killing me.
 
It will be worth waiting for - the look - the stance - the car will look perfect!
