History
From purchasing my Zafira GSI - named Dory - in July 2016, two engine transplants, the accident, the break I took from the show season during my sisters battle with cancer to summer 2020 during the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, the decision to make another major investment in the car and the beginning of Dory's Instagram page and blog, the complete story chapter by chapter.
Chapter One : From Purchase To First Show
It wasn't the best start to #Z20Life! From the day I picked her up, through an engine transplant and rebuilt ready for her first trip to a show at Trax Silverstone September 2016.
Chapter Two : #KeepItAirtec
A cheap eBay special inter-cooler just wasn't going to cut it, time for a trip to Airtec!
Chapter Three : #TheBENTLEYBus
Every custom, modified or performance car needs a statement - a people carrier on Bentley Continental GT wheels, nuff said!
Chapter Four : R333
Racing seats in a people carrier, yes please! When the opportunity appeared to own a set of 'proper' bucket seats, I snapped them up!
Chapter Five : The Time is 15:52
As #TheBentleyBus period of my life drew to a close, it was time to take the Zafira back to a more performance pedigree with the help of Fifteen52.
Chapter Six : "What the F@£&$%#K!!!" & Dory's Face-lift
It doesn't matter how careful you are with your pride & joy, it's the others you have to watch out for! As was the case of Dory and the can-opening Fiesta on a visit to Lincoln County Hospital to see my sister!
Chapter Seven : Dirty Engine - Revert to Z20LET!
Something was never quite right with the second hand Z20LER I purchased just after buying the car, time to do a proper job in the hands of the Z20 Dr - Ash Gedney at Giz-Motorsport!
Chapter Eight : My Hero & My Sanctuary
Everyone lets off steam in different ways, after loosing my sister to CNS Lymphoma(Cancer) for me the best thing to do was to go for random road trips in Dory with my partner & rock Kirsty by my side.
Chapter Nine : Dory Twenty-Twenty
The beginning of @L88FTY_GSI Instagram Page, my new blog and the audacious rebuild of Dory ready for the 2021 show season!
