SamBlueGT Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone I'm sam and I was 21yrs old when I picked up my zed in May last year. This is my first post on here, I've done some mods so thought I might aswell post a build thread! When I bought the car back in may I must of waited 4/5months with no car and commuting on my motorbike just waiting for the right car to come up, I was fussy haha. It had to be a UK GT in azure blue (best colour is why) low miles, standard, black leather, and not a million miles away from Cornwall. Eventually "THE ONE" appeared on a Sunday evening on gumtree... It ticked every box and in my price range and was only in Exeter! No longer than 20mins after the guy posted the ad I arranged with him to come and view and put a deposit down! It was perfect so I payed the deposit and arranged to come back on the Tuesday to collect with the rest of the cash. £6700 44k miles Full history 2 owners - last owner done 10k in 5 years Private plate - JK54 FUN So here she is when I got her home to Cornwall! Future plans are: Cobra cat back - done ✅ Spacers Wheel referb Or maybe new wheels if right set comes up Touch screen head unit - done ✅ Tein springs Some carbon But we will see how things go 😉 Cheers! I'll follow this up with mods done so far! Edited January 26, 2017 by SamBlueGT Quote
reeceybeaney Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Really do love the blue! Almost makes me question if I should have got blue instead! I would go for a darker wheel colour too if the wheels ever need a referb but that's just personal opinion of course... I would say Eibach Springs and Spacers are a good combination Edited January 26, 2017 by reeceybeaney Quote
nimz Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Looks to be in fantastic condition, great base to start with I've got an Azure GT too, had 25mm/20mm spacers fitted this morning, makes such a difference on the standard Rays. Quote
