so just got my first zed and im in love but as this project is something ive wanted to do for over a year i have plans to change it into something else. zeditus is truly addictive i had even brought things before the car was found.
right so the base of this project is the car, after loads of reading and looking about this and other forums i set my self a 5k budget for a early zed. Not alot of money but it is a project car after all so aslong as it was mechanically sound and body panels straight i wasnt to fussed about paint quality,
so i found a local ish car in my budget and went to view. car had done 90k full service history and had been looked after by cs for last few years so it looked promising. Gm gray/silver tan interior (not to my liking but its going anyway) just had a service and looks to be in reasonable nick
it drove well and ticked most of my boxes so i done the worse thing you can do when buying a car and brought my first one i seen
now at 4900 it isnt without its fault and a few jobs could be bigish things but im mechanically minded and a trained engineer so i can fix most things myself
problems;
it has a bad case of bonnet paint flake on the front end
and a few paint bubbles starting to appear around the arches
tracking is out on front wheels
needs new brake pads on front) (done) ebc yellow stuff pads from cs
clutch is getting heavy but no slip just yet ( so new one in new year)
and this is the big one rear diff bush is leaking and needs to be replaced
also the underside is corroding away (looks pretty bad but need to get on a ramp to asses what needs attention asap and what is just cosmetic
right so thats the car now onto the planned mods list
