New rare zs I'm going thinking to save from being broken.. Opinions please??

[harland292]

Got offered a gorgeous black/green zs for parts :O

What a shame so possibly buying the whole car and hoping for some help to source parts from you guys new year..

The car:

Comes with:
The cars got polybush front and think on the rear.
uprated springs and shocks all round grooved discs all round amp wiring kit and sound deadened boot lid hid kit new wheel nuts and lockers and any other bits i find ie new badges and wheel centres

Thing is he's sold one of the rear calipers engine box and engine loom..

Is it worth £800

And would the parts cost more than it's worth overall

[harland292]

missing bits are engine, box, gear selector,wire loom, exhaust 1 rear caliper and disk there is a chipped ecu with it and stainless back box with it and its got 95k on the clock

[Stephen]

If memory serves right im thinking this is the only MK2 180 painted in Black Olive (Monogram colour)

Edit: no engine box exhaust etc... Then its not worth 800. Imo, 4-500 max

[talkingcars]

T16 time.

[MG ZS STE]

If it is black olive then definitely worth putting back on the road. I will have an engine, gearbox and exhaust manifold available after crimble.

[Dan1971]

What on earth is that getting broken for .... :yikes:

With the engine having been removed already though, financially, unless you are good at that type of thing, it'll be costly to get back on the road. With it being such a rare colour, the body parts won't be that desireable as they'll have to be sprayed so breaking this might not actually net that much. Getting it back on the road would be a far better option IMHO.

Personally - I'd love that with a T conversion but the cost would be a killer as I'd have to take it to someone like Red to do it all. End result would be something very special though ....

What interior does it have ?

[stamford]

All smells a bit fishy this one.

[harland292]

Has full black leather and not sure if to buy or not..

Needs a lot of work but luckily the brother in law builds stock cars from the ground up and said he can put the engine in no problem it's just the initially £800 is bit worth it

End of the day it is worth what someone (in this case you) is willing to pay for it...

Maybe try to haggle pointing out that as it is a very rare colour it would be costly to break...

If I had the money I'd buy it... lol

[peterzs]

think I would price up whats left.

Seats, wheels and tyres, springs, shocks, brakes.

All s/h so I'd offer £400 and max of £500.

Going to cost £150 + engine and box, £250 + to fit and then exhaust and caliper. Its the labour that would be the killer. But if you have beer tokens to BiL saves a bomb.

Go in cheap and its worth it, but could end up a money pit. Just make sure you have enough left in bits to cover your outlay, in case you have to break it in the end.

If you do get it then i've just found this enigine on ebay. Belts have been changed it on :

[stamford]

Is this the same car that was doing the rounds a month or two back in the Portsmouth area? Was bought cheap and the chap wanted silly money for it for a quick buck? Had a few mods done to it inc cams? Seems to have a sheddist fitted as well.

Yeah it is, I linked to it a couple of times, interesting how it ended up getting parted out, £400 max imo, rare colour or not.

[stamford]

Yea and a biatch to match the paint, wasn't the rear repaired at some point? Worth £400-500 I guess if the bodykit is complete and the leather seats must be worth a few bob too.

[harland292]

Just offered £600 wait n see I guess

[BUCKYDEVIL]

still aint worth £600 in my point of view, colour aint that great.
Money better spent going for an already sorted ZS & quite a few around now.

[Jason04r]

Seems i paid £800 for mine , bargain :P

[petet16]

A few other things to consider if you get it for a decent price, T16 ?, maybe, but not one I'd go for, one thing I would definitely consider is a 620ti box and lightened flywheel, the ti box is the same C6 as the 180 but with a Torsen diff, you'd just need to swap the clutch operating arm for a 180 one.

[Alan.F]

Has it got a V5 with it sounds really sus

[sneekyparrot]

Has it got a V5 with it sounds really sus

I'd be looking at that with my mahoosive suspicious hat on :-))

Tbh it may of been worth a grand with a cammed motor but about £300 as it stands don't matter what the colour is .

As the guy selling the charged one is finding these cars r only worth money in the community , Jo public ain't interested .

Sad
P.

[petet16]

I'm dubious about it, why start breaking an otherwise ok looking car, I recall the engine had some issues, but decent used KV6's aren't huge money so even if the original motor went bang it doesn't justify breaking it.

These cars are worth much more in bits than as a whole... Hence why my old Trophy Blue one was Broken... and also why our Red 180 was broken as well...

[ZRed]

Given the OP's track record, I'd be dubious about everything in this post.

Strange comment!

[Supercharged_Z]

Strange comment!

google his username or go look him up on rtech.

I have no experience with him so cant comment only saying where I have seen him post.

£600 is to dear.

[BUCKYDEVIL]

Just done that & had a good bit of reading with Handbags at dawn material.

[harland292]

Seems he thinks too highly of the car..

Seems to think he will get £800 easy breaking it..

So told him to go for it, il just get a complete one new year..

Track record for what? Proving my point, making an opinion..

Apparently on RT this was BS with the 4x4 Zr but it's just going through tests and regs now ..

Only reason I got a bad name on forums was because of RSM promising and never delivering putting the light on my head..

[talkingcars]

As Ashley is thinking of buying, not selling, I wonder where the problem is.
