Then i forgot to get any more pics but its pretty much finished already. I'll get some pics tomorow. Just need to get the new front bumper re-painted due to scracthes and its finished. I've upgraded a few bits aswell. Put some 180 skirts on it and the new front bumper i've bought has the 180 splitter which it never had before. :D

Well done for saving another zed :thumbsup:

It really annoys me how easily they write these cars off, there is no need for it.

[vinny1979]

nice. didnt realise they flogged them on from there. I guess they dont sell for much.

good to see it been fixed, we could be running low soon if many more are written off for such small damages. did the can of coke come with the car. lol

[skyblueads]

Just out of interest how much do your cars generally sell for once you've saved them?

[Southside_ZS]

Depends what it is. I've just sold a top spec 54 plate ZR on a cat D for £2400. It cost me £2200 alltogether inc purchase price to repair it but i used it for a year so £200 profit wasn't bad

I usually only make a couple of hundred profit on each one but i do it more as a hobby than to make money to be honest.

Like this ZS, I picked it up for £850. I've picked up all the bits it needs inc the extra's like skirts and front bumper splitter all in the correct colour for £130. The front bumper does need repaiting though due to scratch's which is going to cost me £50 mates rates so £1130 so far plus Mot and tax as im using it fro abit. The cars only worth about £1500 so i wont make much on it.

I've seen that car before somewhere, unless it was at DK a while ago when I looked through their listings :)

[Maxxed_Ross]

All finished. Just a very small repair on the front corner of the bonnet which you can just make out in the pics but my mates doing that for me when i've got it on the road. Other than that its done. Just gotta tax it next week now.

I'm half tempted to get Southside to look at my car to see why it eats driveshafts.

[Bobdope2002]

[stamford]
