Project: Gray Death.

Did some work on it today :) (as well as taking more parts from the AZ3.
Main engine sub frame is back in place with Corksport brushes all round.
gearbox linkage, short shifter and rear coil overs fitted and fixed
dash is redone with the new HAVC panel
arm rest swapped for the import one and ready to be furried up.and I even practiced my rattle can\sanding skills, or lack there of.
Mainly to get an even spray, and why the hell not?

Image bomb:
Polly screen is 90% done, and some of the rivets went in a little wonky but will be sorted tomorrow.
Spoiler placed on for now,

Hmmm… Can I ask why you have riveted poly rear screen? I've not got round to mine yet, but if or when I do, I will bond it on with some poly sealer

See what they look like really.
Tempted to drill them out, they don't look good in the flesh.
What sealant would you use bud?
-
I would use a PU sealer/adhesive, google PU sealer and see what comes up, or a decent car paint supplier shop should sell them, you'll need to make sure boot and screen surfaces are proper clean/degreased before applying, also don't do it on you own, you'll need to place it carefully and on your own it might be difficult. take your time
-
the specified is siliflex 291
in lori s defence, he brought Robs old polycarb screen for cheap, which he pre drilled for rivits.
think it would look ok with a new seal put in and black rivits.
-
Thanks gents, yeah the holes were pre-drilled.
Will take them out when I get some more plastic glue :)
-
I've got some siliflex 221 would that do the trick?
-
I think it looks great, I would just paint the rivets black :)
-
Drilled them out and sealed it up, as well as bolted the rocker covers down tonight.

Well since someones walked off with everything that was attached to my inlet manifold, I'm screwed. K8 stuff is at a different angle and I really really can't be arsed spending more time and money on this & getting more parts from the states.
The Millenia is, from the look of it, one of the rarer Ze's and such parts are a nightmare to find unless you want to buy an entire engine.
I'm out of drive and will to keep doing this bloody thing.
-
The k8 manifold and accessories will bolt up and work
But your be down on power.
What parts have gone missing?.
Will be hard to find another compete curved neck inlet and accessories .
-
Might have some bits of it as I removed my VRIS from it for boost.
-
Thanks guys, rather then post in 2 threads.

Plexy window seal is holding under the weather, it's now 100% smooth from the frame in every direction to the window.
Destroyed the paintwork on the hatch, but it's not staying Nobel green anyway.
-
Pics :(
-
I'm taking them, just not hosting them atm, once it's done (each task) I'll add them.
-
While waiting for some parts to arrive.. been playing with the final colour.
Not the finished work, more like practice.
-
I need to practice as well!
Looks good man! Keep it up!
-
Looking good progress mate. What's the cut out in the bumper for?.
You need to get that ze in and running otherwise your loose interest in the project with winter looming.
Be sad to see another failed project on the forum.
