Hey Mate, we have a Car Show my club runs (Small Ford Sunday) in 2 weeks that I am hoping my will be at all finished so we are pushing hard
Do you have any measurements of your side mounts (horses heads) for your rear spolier. I'd love to copy it as I'll get it laser cut from Alloy I think
Cheers
Matt

Will be much better painted...but as you say a massive job to do....looking forward to seeing the finished work...
cheers mark
Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica
So first topcoat color is done in the engine bay. This will match the interior too. We are painting in 2pak so you can spray straight over the primer layers.
Looks great but got a run in the worst place possible too.

Hey Mark, It's grey! I can't remember the color name but we chose it after discussing it for about 2 mins at the paint shop
It looks a bit brown in certain light but its come up quite well considering we kind of just guessed
Cheers

Yeah, I thought a lot about it but as my car is a bit of a homage the the DTM Series in the 1970's we went with grey but we went gloss as the Matte is too hard to clean

Hey Mate,
Was up till 3 last night so thevend is in site
Weve decided to just get it to the show in undercoat thrn paint afterwards. We'd hate to rush it and not do the hest job we can
The interior will be complete though so it should look pretty cool anyway hopefully
Cheers
Matt

Yes, We thought about rushing the final painting to get it ready in time but decided to wait and do it properly
The car is now 80% built and sitting on a trailer ready to go
I'll get some pics up tomorrow after the show but to say I am happy is an understatement
PM me Mark if you want a sneak peak
Cheers

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica
So we had Small Ford Sunday today run by my car club (Rallye Sport Owners Club of Victoria). Was an awesome day with over 300 cars turning up. Keep an eye out for a write up in the next edition of Classic Ford Magazine.
So Saturday we spent the day just throwing a few bits in it then put on the flares and got it on the trailer

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Next up plumbing and wiring then wheel alignment then top coats
Thanks for reading

Thanks Mate, We'll plumb and wire it this week then off off to the chassis dyno. Then we can do the final prep then paint
Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica
So I've looking a round for a while for somewhere I can get my dash flocked. I couldn't find anywhere so decided to do it myself
My dash was pretty cracked so needed some plastic filler to fill in all the cracks then a good sanding to get it all smooth
Then coat it all in glue then sprinkle on the Flock
I'm really impressed on how it turned out. It needs to cure for 72 hours so I'll put up more pics once completed
Here's a few pics of the before and after

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica
Where did you get the kit?
I might be interested in doing something similar given the cost of recovering.
Thanks, Shaun
