Volvo - Z-car Meets Zeemax by RED HOT

5 minute(s) of a 55 minute read

Good news on the kit; I'll jump on your thread later to ask a few more questions.

Should come as part of the front frame. I don't have mine yet as I'm having a few changes made to it due to under bonnet extras!! Mainly a relocated filler nothing that special.

Progress slow due to weather but have done a few bits so will update over Christmas and new year, mainly body work and have actually gone backwards as the zeemax kit has now been removed-ish!!

Right, been meaning to update for a while and with the prompt above here it is....

Been working mainly on body work and concentrating on the bonnet, boot door and external hinge fitment.

The bonnet and boot had a few dents which needed to be sorted as to did the mechanisms for opening / closing, but they are staying under cover until I’ve perfected them fully   

The hinges needed a serious refurbishment as they were rather rusty had broken studs in them and the profiles for the front and rear parts didn't match... and there is no way I could live with that.

First job was to smooth the doors to match the profiles of the 'A' panel and rear qtr's. These too were a little off and the door gaps needed to be as even as possible as they would stick out like a sore thumb!





















Side repeaters also flushed for their new location   





I lost the before shot unfortunately, but trust me when I say this is a serious improvement on bonnet profile and gap; It’s actually got a new lower section welded in position as the bonnet needed to be lifted by 2-3mm so it was level with the wings. Still needs a little bit of work, but 95% finished

I’ve also opened up the front indicator holes to take the custom ones I’m having made

I don’t have a shot of the boot lid, but nothing much to see to be honest. Same with the bonnet.

To answer the above question I am making a Honda S2000 dash fit. I’ve done the initial fitment which can be seen earlier in this thread.

I’m still working on the hinges for the offside, I’ll post the pictures of the before on this side for comparison! And once that is all done its time to fit the rear frame and door bars etc so I can trial fit the seats, finish the dash and manufacture / design the centre console / tunnel.

If all goes well this week I should be fitting the rear frame section next weekend   

So that’s its, it doesn’t look like a great deal of progress, but the bodywork has been time consuming to get it how I wanted
