The exhaust does sound nice but only the back box has been changed, the central silencer is still there. Going to be changing the whole system for a cat back system at some point to get a better sound |

Some more work done on the tourer yesterday. Decided to remove the front end to see what the damage is like behind the bumper from where the 4x4 had backed onto it previously, hence why the bonnet was out of shape and mangled at the front.
No significant damaged but the top of the slam panel is warped in places and the middle was pushed back. We noticed this after replacing the bonnet yesterday to find the catches were way too far forward due to the slam panel being too far back. Took a lot of fiddling and knocking the slam panel forward into shape but got it all fitted. It will need a replacement slam panel to make it perfect, as the bumper does sit slightly too far back at the top middle. But still looking much better already Also fitted the boot foam tool inserts, boot tray and pizza lid for the spare wheel well which looks much better too |

Roof rails and a dog guard. Hope you have a yellow Labrador and picnic basket to match
A lot of nice car there, even if she's in need of some fettling. You know it will pay you back one day (like having kids).

That guard is just the standard one which comes with the load cover, not the proper metal one Was very luck to pick up a set of the original tourer width roof bars which attach to the two long length ones And also the factory ZT-T plates. A hell of a lot of car for the £300 I paid |

Quick update on the tourer. Haven't had much time at all to work on it at the moment.
A few weeks back I made a passenger height adjustable seat parts from a driver's electric memory seat and a passenger electric seat. This will be fitted to the tourer when I get time See here for more details on the conversion: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=287623 I'm also currently repairing the driver's seat as the seat foams were in a right state, the seat base foam had completely gone out of shape. Also fitting better leather seat covers on the driver's seat, as the current ones have some signs of wear. A few weeks ago I was able to get hold of some genuine side skirts which arrived today very lucky to get hold of them as the genuine factory plastic ones are getting very hard to find now. I'll be spraying these in PBT and fitting them early next year once winter has passed Have come across a bit of a serious problem though the other day, opened the tail gate and there was quite a loud bang which didn't sound good. Well this is what's happened, the ball joint for the strut has broken, looks like that has been rusting for some time So will have to look into finding someone who can weld this. |
