Cool, apparently it's a durham registered car, wonder who has your brothers noo?:)
If you find em, fire up them piccies:D Have to say paintwork isn't as bad as i thought it might be apart from the stonechipped bodykit. It had that diamondbrite protection stuff put on it when new. Washed up nicely that's for sure but mair than likely get yourself to give it the proper job treatment if yer up again. George is gonna be getting a good workout on that interior though lol, is pretty clarty tbh and will need to 'shave' seats due to the bobbling from folk sliding into them:)

yeah i will come up again, really enjoyed the last trip up there lol, the bloke who owns my brother is from up the road from me and my brother sold the car to a company in Manchester lol, just found the pics, not that good as i only had my old camera

Top stuff Steve and I will have a gander at them pics when i get home tomorrow, works computer says no to photobucket etc and phone signal is pants for trying to use iphone:(

A wee update, got the bodywork sorted out an full system including de-cat. Exhaust is a bit quieter than the black one's was, but sounds nice and deep and a lot smoother:)
Most of the time since I have bought the car has been spent on the interior, the amount of ***** that came out during the shampooin was scaryily disgusting, but there has been a vast improvement and all the seats need now is a de-bobble:)
Also popped in my new 5K HID's yesterday then today fitted the sheddist kit and TM clock(thanks Lawrence, hope to get start button in soon). The thing i was desperate to do was the sheddist kit as my oe kit was struggling a touch and since i had one in the black zed i hated going back to the oe system. Once again the kit has transformed another zs, cannot recommend this upgrade more to anyone with a 180, should be one of the very first mods done:)

Picture makes the positioning look like it may be awkward for driver but tbh it falls nicely to hand:)

Then a tidier position for my usb port for when i refit my HU, as I normally use a stick for me tunes:D

Wouldn't rest the wheel on the spoiler if I were you ..... :joker:

Looking good mate :)

cleaning my interior atm, really not had the time when i got it. off between christmas and new year and off a week mid january so will get stuck in then :)

Are those mats clipped in? I was looking for clips on mine the other day, but i couldnt find them. The bloody carpets keeping rolling forward.

Aye they are standard clips that the mats came with:) I cannot find them on Rimmer bros but would assume you should be able to get them somewhere?!?

I do have different securing clips sitting in the garage, have 3 as one broke in transit(came with last mats) you can have them for nowt if you want? Can pop oot an grab a pic of them if you like? :)

I'll have a look at mine tomorrow to see if I can figure out where the clips should go, if I can see then I might just take you up on your kind offer!

The ones ihave spare just screw through the mats and into the carpet mate, just so you know:)

EDIT

Here is a wee pic of them bud:)

Great colour, well worth the effort.

Did you find much wrong with the brakes???

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

sticking pads needing a file down, few missing shims which i will need to pick up and slide pins needed clean and re-greased as well as the fluid itself being well past it's sell by date lol. Hopefully get them painted up soon, just going dark green so subtle but new decals will stand out on em:)

looks a pretty tight fit in thru' them garage doors Gary!!!!!!

you try machine polishing in there lol:mml:

Plenty of room for the zed but getting Claire's astra in with it's daftly huge mirrors is a tad tighter lol:D

LOL, aye twas a bit of a contortionist job for ye :D

Latest up date

Finished the service items, so new fuel filter in and my freee (:D) sparkies too, here are the old ones that were changed(lol) at last service

Just after getting the car i noticed a slight rattle from the plenum, and i do mean slight but it is there. Figured seeing as the VIS i was running were actually Kevs and I had money left that i raided from my savings that i would get a new plenum complete with VIS, so last night took old one off and had a beer while i cleaned up the manky TB

looking rather good

Only just seen this thread! Awesome car, but should of left the small spoiler on!

I did try to tell him...

New plenum though, nice. You gonna be taking apart the old one?
Got the carpet clips btw, thanks very much :thankyou:

Na, prob sell it as a working spare on the bay or here, was only a slight rattle and car didn't seem down on power when VIS were working so really it too good to scrap tbh when other out there are gubbed and need summat that at least works ok:)

Glad you got the clips, no toyota moments for you now lol:D

Still prefer the proper spoiler :trampoline:;)

Been busy dude again lol... that a hatch? Only asking because i have seen brg extreme spoiler and was thinking i might get it.

Aye lol, itching to get as much done as i can:D

It's a saloon bud, you can make the extreme spoiler fit the hatch with a bit of modding though.....no wanna buy a lip spoiler lol? :D

What would need modding? Lol cheers for the offer but i like mine at the min but Wouldn't mind going bigger
