Irn Bru Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I bought it from eBay, a chap near Shrewsbury who imports American classics, selling through business for a mate, all checked out with paperwork, mileage etc so I went for it, a good price I thought. So heres a couple of recent photos That is a smoking hot looking Zed, nice purchase Quote
Payco Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Great looking z. Get yourself set up on photobucket and post some bigger photos. Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 cheers guys, well I had a bit of an issue with the photos, I cant find a simple way to down the file size, they are quite large files, unless you can do it with photobucket? Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) oh there you go, it works that way Edited January 7, 2016 by GeorgeW 4 Quote
Mike1989 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Nice car buddy, best colour haha!! Great surroundings on the photos, where's that at? Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Would you be able to get some front shots please? I have not seen eyelids on a red Z before, they look pretty cool. Makes it a bit more aggressive on the front. If you can post up any more pics that would help my decision. cheers Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Mike, those photos are at Lake Vyrnwy. Its not too far from us so we go up there for walks quite often. Those photos were actually taken the day before my partner was induced for our first baby - hence the calming drive! So here is the car this morning showing eyelids - ignore the dirt! I assure you the car IS red, it looks pink in these! Edited January 8, 2016 by GeorgeW 3 Quote
veilside z Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Looks lovely. I quite like the red grille, plus its different to the norm. Brings back the days when everything was colour coded. 1 Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 cheers, yes I love the red, too be honest though I wanted yellow, but couldn't afford it, and thought I would ruin it by modding. I would like more black on my car, I am tempted with vinyls but not sure how to do them without it looking tacky Quote
OliverB Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Hi George, I've just bought myself a red Z and love it. Now I've seen yours though...where did you find the body kit? I've been looking around but always end up on US sites, which I'm not entirely comfortable ordering from! 1 Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 Hi Oliver, the body kit and spoiler were from 'Storm Motorsport' very much in the UK 1 Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Cheers George. Great pictures. Although still unsure!! Quote
Mike1989 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I like the eye lids, might get myself a set! Needs the hr bonnet to make it look more aggressive! Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 I was going to buy a cf bonnet going second hand on here but it sold before I could! 1 Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 I spent some time at the weekend CF wrapping the interior, it was tricky but not impossible, a couple of mistakes, but luckily its quite tricky to see them! I did the common parts on the doors, and the centre dash, which finally looks complete - I installed the head unit and didn't have the surround, so it looked very under construction until now. It also matches the CF wrap on the gear knob - something I only noticed when I took the photo! 2 Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 little update, had a go (and completed) the bumper tuck mod this afternoon. I will post photos when I give 'er a wash tomorrow Quote
valy Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 lovely car George ...but that the center console wrapping looks tacky to me ...not a big fan of interior wrapping myself at the end of the day go with what you like but there are way better options out there Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Yes I agree, but it's all I can afford at the moment and it's a lot better than the mess it was before! Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Here is a photo of the back bumper tuck, with a dirty exhaust - didn't have time to clean. You can also see that the emblem is now off, removed by the car cleaner, but in his defence it was wobbly anyway. But I like the way it looks with no badge, so want to fill the holes with something. 1 Quote
JetSet Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Welcome along. I came from a T-Sport too, a long, long time ago Pete 1 Quote
GeorgeW Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) thanks chaps, I heard my car for the first time whilst not in it at the weekend, as my dad took it off for its oil and filter change, its quite sad I was standing on the drive smiling at my own car, must have looked nuts, but on review, the exhaust sounds lovely, and my dad isnt exactly an aggressive driver!
