WOW its come along way from what you got it at its looking great!.
Your mates is an 85 like mine they have a 5 speed box instead onf the Z are yellow and balck and have the coolant overflow bottle behind the carb aned not next to your leg like on yours. If you have any questions here is the place;)

the donut had been riding it around with 2 bolts done up finger tight on the cylinder lol so it had blown the gasket so i thought i would strip it while i was fixing that. i meant is there any tricks you people know that will make it look a bit better without spending millions....

You can get them over here ( im in the england too) On ebay Yamatopdog has some 85+86 sticker sets. It takes some searching but all the stuff can be had over here and if not you can get it sent over from the US

I would say, try to get a aftermarket DG silencer. Even a Dial a jet just to help jetting and performance in the future.
Then maybe a new front tire, and get the sticker kit to make her look nice. Just to start of with!
