no more zeds unfortunately. Petrol in italy is a huge problem in those years, and a 2-seat as main car is a problem in order to valuate alternative fuels...was one of the main points that brought me to sell the zed: I'd never trasform a z3 in a methane fueled vehicle

be sure you fix harder enough the leather.
don't hurry up stertching, making this work takes his time.
before making it, hidratate the leather very very intensively.

Re: Boot Light not working??
First check the fuse - the boot light is not brilliantly constructed and it is quite possible that it has shorted to the chassis blowing the fuse. If it's not that, then the next suspect is the boot lid wiring loom - the switch is in the boot lock on the lid, so the wiring for the switch passes thr...

most common falut cause is NOT the switch, but the wires that goes between the boot lid and the car chassis. they flex everytime you close it, and start broke. check them first, you can prevent some shortcircuiting too ;) I had same issue, NOT with the light but with the central locking of the lid.....
