Heya and welcome fella
Best if you tell us what problems you do already have 1st and we can help give info on them one by one
These cars are a doddle to work on and pretty sure you wont have a problem that folk here haven't heard of before
Stick with it, put some work in and reap the rewards
stick a pic up of what ya got

welcome - good luck with the early niggles. hopefully nothing too serious to sort out though :)

the ZS is luxury compared to my first two cars, 1st was a D reg vaux belmont (astra with a boot) the second was a M reg nasp 1.8 D 205......

Hi and welcome

but have any handled as well as this one?

Do you have front windy windows.
Do you have a mk1 or mk2? The door looms are different.

Where abouts are you? I have a mk1 you are quite welcome to come and strip bits if you want?
