I will do Eagle , It all seems pretty decent stuff , I think it may take a couple of goes to fully remove the rust , I'll have to see ? I also sprayed some Dynax S50 into the sills today through the skirt locating holes so that should offer some additional protection too .

Thanks , Mark

I'm trying to keep the dreaded tin worm at bay Dugy , it's very solid underneath and there's no welding at all required . It's just some of the factory applied underbody protection is delaminating slightly so that is the next job . I know the jacking points are quite a bad area on the Zx but fortunatly mine is in very good condition and only required minor work .

Image

Image

The inside of the side skirt full of 17 yrs of muck

Image

Now all nice and clean

Image

Front wing arch lip

Image

Spare wheel before

Image

And after a tidy up and repaint in satin black

Image


The next jobs will be to remove the spare wheel carrier and de rust it and repaint it , then remedy the delaminating factory sealant issues when weather permits .

clear looks better than the orange i have the same.zx16 look great standard i will return to standardish soon mark2 wheels in my mind are rubbish looking look like crapy starfish mark 1 slighly better.they sit slighly to high at the back compared with the lowered form so i think it best to keep the same for looks.

i allways have my ax for my crazy modifed side/show car

Hi Mark,
This is great work, keep the car original. Its a coming classic you know. In a few year theese cars will be very rear and fun to own. They are in my mind fun already of course.

We've had a drop of snow here in Sheffield and the Zx is now buried with a flat battery ( will be sorted on my day off ) .

Well the replacement battery is on and the car fired up first time , I thought I had better wash some of the winter muck off and apply some wax I've been wanting to try for a while .

Image


Image


Image


And after a coat of dodo juice orange crush which left a lovely oily shimmer to the paint .

Image

I love the dodo juice waxes I have tried and will be sampling some more of their product range soon so I'll report the results .
