Damaged ZS Project No.3

[Southside_ZS]

Well i've put depsoit down on number 3. This ones going to be kept by me as i've been after a Mk2 1.8 with the full kit for ages now and its took me over a year to find one. I think i've paid a tad over price for it considering its salvage but as i'll be keeping it for myself im not wanting to make a profit on it plus as said they very rarely turn up damaged.

Long story this one, spotted it on ebay but lost out on it in the last few seconds. That was a few weeks back now. I checked the guys feedback a couple of days back and realised no feedback had been left for it so i e-mailed him asking it had sold. Turned out he'd had no contact from the buyer and he was going to start breaking it next week. So i made an offer and he excepted it so this one really has been saved from the scrapyard in the sky :)

Anyway its an 05 plate ZS 120. Very high spec with climate control, sunroof, rear park sensors full kit e.t.c 38k miles with light N/S damage to wing, bonnet and door. Heres the ebay pics...

Yea its all there and the only bit damaged is the front wing trim which is a clean break with no bits missing so should plastic weld back together. :)

[Maxxed_Ross]

looks like another good base. You'll have it back like new in no time!

[Andyf]

Nice project car for you and nice to see another car saved from being scrapped, desirable colour too!

[grimmy]

looks none to shabby you will have that mint again in no time

[Maxfly]

can only echo what everyone says and again that colour is fantastic, she will be looking extremely braw soon:)

[Supercharged_Z]

nice one.

a lot of BX cars are rover direct cars or press cars

[Southside_ZS]

Well i've paid £1850 for it but i've gotta pay delivery on top of that which will bring it to only a couple of quid short of £2k which is what it sold for on ebay without delivery. Should have it back on the road for £400 so its still going to cheap but the way ZS prices are falling i doubt i'll make any money on it in a years time when i come to sell. Hopefully should hold value a bit better than the V6's though. But like i said im doing it to keep not to sell so im not bothered about profit.

Well spotted i never noticed that. I'll have to do dome digging and see if it has any history to it.

You'll be lucky to get it to fuse together, I had several cracks in the front arch and I had all the bits, but the bodyshop could not get the to plastic weld, so ended up using some automix on it instead and then filled with plastic filler and painted, so beware, fella!

[vinny1979]

how much do you think it wil go for?

[ZS Phil]

Very nice mate, hope you manage to repair it to the same standard as the other two

[Stev180]

Looks like you will have your work cut out on that one!

[Southside_ZS]

Not really. All bolt on bits. No structual damage atall. Took delivery of it friday so i'll get progress pics as i go along.

[MikeMant]

Im sure you will have that looking good again I do like the facelift model

[Southside_ZS]

Wow how long is this one taking me? lol. Been a bit slow this one. Been trying to get all the parts it needs. I knew MK2 bits were rare but its took me ages to get everything but its all here now so i got cracking.

Got the newly painted door fitted today.

Rear arch trim have also been painted so they'll be getting fitted soon to replaced the other which were damaged by the salvage company :(

Both front wings and bonnet and frotn arch trims are in the bodyshop getting painted. Innter wing has been straigtened up which just needs to be tidied up and painted then i need to chop out the crumple zone on the passenger side inner wing and weld a new one in. You can just see in the pic where i've started slpitting the spot welds to remove it.

[afcbadam]

[arwilson80]
