Today I...
Over the last few days I've had time on the ZT, the time has come to get all of that new stuff on it and give it a repaint. In my youth I've had loud cars and loved the sound of a booming exhaust or screaming engine note, these days I want power and a quiet cabin. I've removed the dash and all the stuff on the bulkhead to fit soundproofing, I'm also coating the tunnel so that the exhaust sound will be quieter, I'm halfway through as of this afternoon and will post a picture tomorrow. It's not an easy job but it will be a very rewarding one and, I'll have the quietest ZT to boot, please excuse the slight blur on the picture as I moved when I took it.

Hi,had to do one of my least favourite jobs,replaced nsf wishbone with the rear bush due to a clonking lower ball joint and the MOT.Checked the manufacturing date stamp on the casting on removal and it was made I'm 2001 so presumably the original and lasted over 19 years, probably why it put up such a fight overall several days before it decided to leave the premises!Regards Ry.....

They can be stubborn sometimes, I bet the replacement wont last as long as the original though.

Evening all,
Not a job a done today, rather Monday. The drivers side indicator wasn't working on my tow bar & the fuel cap wasn't locking. Both have been like that for some time. I finally got round to addressing both issues. Both problems were due to dirty contacts. I used electrical contact cleaner & disconnected/reconnected the terminals several times. I'm quite pleased that both have been resolved, the hardest part was the removal/refitting of the trim! It's just annoying that the tow bar connections were on the passengers side while the fuel cap solenoid(?) is on the drivers side, obviously!

Soundproofed the ZT.
I've been on the ZT soundproofing for a couple of days between jobs, I've done the bulkhead and tunnel and I hope it makes a big difference to the cabin noise. I've made some other slight changes that some might spot in my next upload in a few days..

Cheers Mike, something like this then?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/29314490985...evt=1&mkcid=28 I'm thinking about taking out the manual A/C in my car and fitting climate in it's place, so it makes sense to do it while the car is stripped out like yours. |
