quite simply was abused as a racing street car, I should of known when he took me on a test drive and ragged it to high heaven.

That's a shame, he was really lucky it didn't let go on the test drive then.

Its done by a bloke who works for Nissan doing all paint correction. He has his 2 car garage done out as a spray booth. if its good enough for Nissan New cars, itll be good enough for a 10 year old ZS:rofl:

Nice to hear zeds being pampered :D

Nice one - mine could do with a respray but if I'm spending that much on it I should get the belts done first.

That was brave, taking the engine out with the radiator still in place!

Just a little update from my engine Rebuild, Ive moved onto the paintwork, Although its been well looked after with claybarring sessions and plenty of washes, I treat myself to sorting the problem areas out, specifically the rear end which had been involved in a bump before I bought it. Had it resprayed including a machine polish and sealant.

Results are as follows.
