Kidge's Z3 275 Project
Kidge's Z3 275 Project
Come on Chris, must be time time for an update and pictures by now.
Bump
A little more prep and then moulding will start shortly.
Excellent news, it looked pretty much ready for moulding ages ago. I do hope you haven't been wasting time on the rust bucket Escort!!!

Are you going to offer GRP bumpers as an option . The "real" ones look fab but cost more than the donor Z3 !

This is laser cut from 4mm thick stainless, about 8" long. The cut is a bit rough and will need tidying & polishing, but looks good.
Ooo how much do those cost?

Moulds completed for rear body section
First panels from new mould
The 275 project will be passing into Dan's hands for production , sales and marketing, under his "OLD No.7" company name. More info to follow soon, along with a new forum section too.....
Looking very,very good.
Will you be starting a new thread for the convertible version?
Can't wait to see the finished results.

Dan will be.
Looking really good . You must have changed your minds , I thought you were only going to offer a convertible version !

We still have to provide Kidge with his hard top kit. The body shown will be modified to provide the buck for the convertible mould.
Convertible with a modified hardtop would be nice.
I wonder if that nice Dan will do a Daytona
I think the Z3 soft top will work well on the 275 convertible.
Probably look better than the originals
A bit like the 250swb without the beer ledge at the rear.
All we want is this !
Or this , a better view !

Windscreen looks wrong
The Z3's looks better
Tributes 275 is definitely a pretty car

Now where can one get seats like that?
Tribute - It is great to see the first panels being created, this should be another great kit.
Chris & Dan - I hope everything works out well for both your companies going forward.
Good luck, Paul.
