Hello all, ive mainly been on themgzr over the last 6 months or so but remembered I signed up here once upon a time! Thought id get some pics up of the progress on my ZR 120 so far

A quick one as it was to start with:

And then the stripping out / refitting began!

Thats how it sat for a while untill I managed to get hold of the centre console and window switch panel (kudos to Fast Alan!) which is on the p*** in this pic.

Trophy lights and rally mud-flaps also added:, although the flaps are a bit off centre, refit probably needed

Wheels refurbed and powdercoated in shadow chrome thanks to wheelfixit:

Cheeky shot with a mates A3 cabrio

Armrest fitted and replica BRM lid added, not 100% happy with it yet need to refit really

And a new manifold heat shield and BMC CDA added this weekend:

And thats all to date!

Next up are BRM door cards and some Janspeed goodies, and sorting out the bloody tappetts which are doing my head in! Other than that maybe an incar PC and a brake upgrade. Cheers for looking!

Sweet looking build mate. Good on ya.

Battman · 10-03-2012, 21:56

Last piece of the BRM interior to go in, thanks to Ian Roberts for the donor door cards!

matrix MG · 10-03-2012, 23:05

looks good. would have thought red with red interior would be a bit much, but it works well.

Mav666 · 10-03-2012, 23:55

Looks excellent, I was wondering how the red would go, but it looks great!

ROVER-25X · 11-03-2012, 06:25

Very tidy motor mate, I like it a lot, make sure you get pics of the door cards once there fitted.

How much did they charge you for refurb ?

Battman · 11-03-2012, 10:32

Cheers for the comments chaps!

The powdercoating was £300 for the set of four inc. centre caps. Mobile company called wheelfixit, really pleased with the finish on them

Fast Alan · 11-03-2012, 12:07

That looks the Dogs Goolies fella. Loving seeing some of the parts you guys have had off me going to sweet looking and sounding cars. Puts a BIG SMILE on my face.

Battman · 22-04-2012, 20:42

Last piece of the puzzle! Interior all done now, just a few odd details left to go.

ROVER-25X · 24-04-2012, 01:09

Yeah mate it is, would be a nice to break up the dash with. Cheers anyway though!

BLMC · 24-04-2012, 18:15

You could do a dash swap?

At least the grain would match the doorcards also.
