Well, Im bored and the zeds just gone into the bodyshop. So i'd thought i'd start a build thread.
This came up locally so me and the old man went to take a look. Its a vortech v2 04 Zed, with 38k on the clock. Straight away I could see how much work (and money) I would have to pile into this car to get it to a level that I'm personally happy with (Perfectionist!). It has 20 inch alloys that ruin the handling, it has lots of little dents in and its falling apart, but I could see what it could be.
The seller didnt really know what he was talking about, he failed to mention/notice the brembos up front and the exedy clutch booklet in the paperwork, he didnt really know anything about the car. I was a little aprehensive about buying a charged zed with a pretty unknown past but lifes for living and all that rubbish. On the way home the engine light came on (just my luck) after performing the peddle dance the problem was obvious. As a kind gesture the gentleman had put £50 worth of standard unleaded in the car, which caused the car to run like crap! After nursing it home we drained the tank and put some real fuel in and after a few days she ran sweet (By sweet I mean she sounds like a barge - thanks vortech!).
Just some photos of the bad bits!
