Recommended Posts

wowzers! didn't you have a problem with another Z Luke? (I could be making that up!)..

 

Another blue 350z in the Zed Shed?! :lol:

 

oh where to start...

 

1st one i got cut up on a entry slip to dual carridge way - that was sent to the zed shed for work and the black donor kebab zed was born.

 

then i sold the donor kebab one to fund a route 66 trip.

 

then i bought another last year with 152k miles just to go ring in which was fine.

 

and then this one...

Plans for the Zed, Well Luke and I are still discussing that, the cost of the rebuild V breaking its a tough one due to the amount of damage and cost of parts to repair, we are both leaning towards breaking her but it has not been 100% decided just yet.

 

I'll keep you all updated when we decide what to do.

Wow, sorry to see this Luke. Probably not what you want to hear right now but it does make you think about keeping a good quality fire extinguisher in the car. Following a little incident in the garage I now have FOUR extinguishers. It's frightening just how quickly it takes hold. All the best getting in sorted, I know you are in capable hands.

Pulled the engine out to see how bad things were

 

Grundy you are an amateur mate

 

This is how to kill an engine -

So we think this might not be an economical repair :scare:

I feel another V8 yank conversion coming :teeth:

 

Did the other one get finished in the end?!?

 

Its a work in progress - in fact we were ordering parts for it today - well I just did the shopping list Wasso got his wallet out - apparently I'm better than his Mrs for spending his money :lol:

Did the Zed Shed Crew go to Germany to recover the Zed?

 

No mate just as far as Abbey Motorsport where the Zed was first recovered to for them to give a once over - they found the hole in the block so that's when Luke found out it was worse than hoped :(
