That should sell in a heart beat. What's he asking for it?

Lukeus101
22-08-14, 05:53 PM
£2750 iirc

Dan1971
22-08-14, 05:55 PM
Strong money .... but there will be a buyer out there coz that is a special car and worthy of looking after and showing.

Very nice indeed.

Lukeus101
22-08-14, 06:00 PM
Agreed, he is sorting the paintwork before the sale so it will be well sorted when its available. That with full leathers and the usual mods will make it a show winner

I could not recommend it highly enough, awesome bit of kit and imo worth the price tag :)

Full Exhaust, ITG, Fresh inlet and VIS Id say around the 190 mark but I need to get it on the dyno for sure :)

Cant wait now to get it now. Found out its the Second ZS to be made in Aurora. Has the same Birthday as me and my dogs kennel name is Kennie Aurora too, Looks like it was made for me.

Already started to buy some bits and bobs too.

Heres to ZS no5!

It's a good looking car, I was half tempted by it when it was on ebay before Steve bought it, that was when it had the love tap on the back end which damaged the original rear bumper, which I now have.

I recall seeing steve childs at POL this year scurrying along with a front bumper tucked under his arm. It wasn’t until I saw him putting it down behind the Aurora ZS I put 2 + 2 together and realised it was him. The front bumper was hanging off and the rear bumper had sag. I’m not 100% but I think it may have also had failing rear door handle syndrome. Anyway suffice to say it was looking very sorry for itself. If he’s had the bumpers sorted now then that will have made a huge difference, I’m sure in Stephens hands it will be getting the attention it deserves.

Rear door handel has been changed and painted correctly. Rear bumper is firefrost after the wee bump. And the nos front bumper i have is going to be painted and fitted. The original hasnt takn to well with stone chips. Bonnet and bodykit along with an extreme spoiler will be painted and the spoiler put on.

Dan1971
04-09-14, 11:16 AM
Quite a bit of bodywork there to get stuck into. Did you know the condition beforehand - like had some good close up photos etc?

Any difficulties getting the right paint ?

I wish you well with it pal - stunning car once fixed up.

Stephen
04-09-14, 06:23 PM
I knew the condition before hand. I have a tin of the paint to do the areas needed.

Even polishing some areas has made a massive difference. Will continue with the polishing and get more pics posted on a progress thread.

andys1981
04-09-14, 09:08 PM
im sure you will work it out mate,im sure with decent weather and a few days doing what your doing,it will look the part,i really need to do my headlights aswell,look forward to seeing after pics.

05-09-14, 08:39 AM
Surprising it was left in that condition considering who owned it. Will look forward to seeing the progress and effort put in to make it like new again.
