IanA's Z300S Barchetta Build

[IanA]

Out for a spin in the Z300S earlier this week and upon checking (as you do) found that the brake lights weren't working.
Wiring connections in the well of darkness (the boot) looked OK and the fuse wasn't blown.
Having the engine running and idly pumping the brake pedal listening for the switch to click- they started working again.
The switch was just tired I guess...
If only all gremlins would dissipate as easily.

Like the Mrs, just wants to let you know you cannot take it for granted.

Getting close to paint time as I've found someone fairly local who will do a standard paint only job (no lacquer) with a pro-finish vinyl striping overlay.
A few more consultations needed but he's recommended Indasa Autofill for any filling, pre-primer that it may need. Anyone else used this stuff?
Sounds like an easy-sand paste with glass and kevlar reinforcement. I have to say that the Isopon P40 with glass strands is not the easiest to sand.

Ian - Remind me, what colour are you going for?

Good luck, Paul.

Thanks- this is the car's 4th summer in gel coat.

Same as ever- white- probably Ford Polar or Arctic or whatever they call it this year with 2 stripes in red - probably good old Standard Triumph Signal Red vinyl.

Here's a (seemingly) odd question......... Does the Barchetta body kit come with the headlight holes already cut out, or just marked? No prizes (but maybe some kudos?) to anyone who can guess what I'm thinking (clue - not a track car without lights)

Chris installed the headlights in mine so I can't say. There was a pic on here a little while ago of Z300S kit #7 being shipped. You may be able to see on that.

Are you going to:

A. Install a cluster of white LED lights for the front?

or

B. Install a cluster of red/amber LED lights and mount it on the back a la Boxster, Nikri and other pushme-pullyou designs?
