This car deserves a bit of care and attention because of her commissioning mumber . She wont be perfect when finished but she should give me many years of happy motoring when finished. I don't tend to show cars as I prefer to drive them

Now I am ready for the slam panel so it was time to build it up.
Everything has been either refurbed or renewed (cables). Firstly ran in the electrics and re fitted the clips. and fitted the horns next was the bonnet locks and cables. I lubricated the cables to make sure the wires saw oil all the way through the sheath (knowing what a weakness this area can be) Finally fitted the bonnet release. You will see I used all new fastenings to get rid of the old rusty ones. All are M6 fittings mostly 13mm long and the bonnet catches bolts are M6 x 30. I then offered the slam panel up to the car and held it in with a couple of bolts place before fitting the wiring and bonnet release cable. The cable was fitted to block with the block turned on itself as recommended by many on here and clipped home wiring loom was connected, Horns and bonnet switch tested and then the connector was clipped into place on the drivers side leg Power steering cooler was refitted to the bottom of the panel and the panel was fitted in place followed by the crash beam. I did lift the slam panel slightly to try and close the gap between the bonnet and bumper but until final fitment of the bumper i wont know how the adjustment looks. next up was the lights. At this stage I only fit the bottom bolts on the sliders and leave the top bolts off. This helps the lights move and fit into position when the bumper is fitted and then fit the top bolts after the bumper is on. As ever test everything before final fitment and then everything was fitted ready for the front bumper Next up the front bumper

Let's see.
At a guess between 50 & 100 hrs even at minimum wages would be.......... Quite a lot

No the ZT is for keeping and the Contemporary would probably be the car that moved on

Firstly the bumper was stripped down and cleaned inside and out.
Once on a stand the state of the fittings on the underside were quite bad So the were drilled out and refirbed with stainless fittings Then bumper was stripped out and cleaned on the inside and the paint was cut back with a machine polisher and polished. I always find it easier to do the bumpers on a stand rather than on the car when machine polishing Then bumper was built back up before refitting the bumper another pressie arrived from Jules so was fitted with the bumper off. Shannon tube fitted The bumper was then offered up and reconnected to the main car Water for the headlamps washers and the main loom for the bumper on the passenger side and clipper up as per the OEM design I then offer up the bonnet and clip it onto the wings. With the lights just held on the sliders they move to accommodate the lights into the light apertures. The 9 x bolts were then added on top inot the slam panel. Also the screws go up through the arch covers into the wing on both sides and through the arch cover and onto the bumper. At this point I didn't do the under tray fittings as the under tray was coming off for the next job I took this shot to show the difference between the bumper which has been mopped and polished and the wing which has not and the finished article which really shows the difference between the bumper and the rest of the car (which will get the mop and polish treatment) The front end finished from the top and from the front Next up the right hand side of the engine bay to complete and onto the jobs on the engine its self
