Phoenix Yellow Coupe project.

Subscribed as well. Just need a bit more Matt Armstrong editing over it and you can make it your full time job :lol:

And the funds to do the jobs of course
 
Good evening.

It’s been a good Z4 week.
Firstly I had a jolly little key ring turn up to adorn the Z4 key. It’s simple but it made me smile.

Today I churned out a new video (see the link below) to show a bit of detail about how I’ve cleaned the seats and how they now look. It also gave me a chance to test out a few accessories that I’ve bought from china to try to make the videos a bit more professional.

Finally, alloys have been bought to replace the very tired 108’s. I may very well try to home restore these, gives me something else to film.

Anyway, I hope you like the video, please like and subscribe if it’s your type of thing.

Ta ta.

You could make those seats look new by leather dying those. Easy but time consuming job. I did a full colour change last year.

This is interesting. Whats the quality of the colour change like? Has any of the dye run?

It’s like an original finish. Like I said it’s time consuming but if you take your time and prep it properly you will get a good finish

I’d be really interested to see if I could colour dye the leather, maybe try this leather filler too.
Is it hard to do?
 
Hot off the press!!!

Another Phoenix yellow update on YouTube.
I gave the old girl a bit of clay bar treatment, I think it’s come up pretty well.
I didn’t do the entire car as there are some panels that I may still swap out, I’ve not decided yet. There paint still has some issues which weren’t resolved by clay bar and polish, so at some point I’ll probably get a professional in to go over the entire car.

Anyway, here is a link to my ‘Zeds not dead’ channel and some pictures below.

Thanks for looking.

This is really good, lovely to see a beautiful car lovingly restored :thumbsup:

Did you buy the MV2's on the PY roadster being sold for parts?

They were long gone. I’ve never been keen on the MV2 alloys if I’m honest. I’d rather get the 108’s restored.
 
The 108's are a nice wheel on an e85 pre face lift due to the smoother front bumper and round spots, more in keeping with the style as the wheel has some lovely curves in the design. IMHO they just don't match the angular shape of the facelift, they're in conflict with the more muscular shape, angles not curves per se.
 
Never thought about it that way, biut you are right as I don't think the 107 works as well on facelift compared to pre-facelift either.
