There once was a (not so) ugly duckling ....
....that was actually quite sad and craved looking after .... It was listed on the bay of E for anyone just to dip in and abuse her further and run her into the ground ....
But a sharp eyed young man - ;) - saw her and knew that lurking underneath was beauty just waiting to be seen. He asked his knowledgeable friend to check her out and he concurred that there was a decent heart beating under a quite tired exterior. A train ride and £500 later she met her new owner and the relationship began ..... On the trip home it was clear that there were some issues - it was a little rough running and wouldn't start from hot. Seemed a bit breathless too. On arrival after a wash chez moi ..... http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...nsnewZS003.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...nsnewZS005.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...nsnewZS006.jpg Now I'd be lieing through my teeth if I didn't mention that I've spent a few quid .... Alcantara interior - alloys - renault splitter - front bumper - fogs - vis motors - headlights - cam sensor - rear strut brace - 45 steering wheel - badges - focal rear speaker upgrade - and a full service which cured the rough running mainly due to replacing the fuel and air filters - comes to mind ...... And some nice new plates.... ;) But - Not quite the most stunning ZS out there - but I must admit - I've fallen for her .... :love: Behold - The RedShed is dead - Long live "Red" http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...Windows015.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...Windows016.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...Windows017.jpg :clap::clap::clap: |
Looking very good indeed Dan, I do love the solar red hatchs. Certainly worthy of dropping the "shed" title now ;)

Cheers Craig ....

Looking really good Dan, you seem to have a good eye for putting nice little touches to make it stand out.
Liking the red rims, black mirrors & Opie decals. |
Ive only just noticed the black mirrors after looking again. Really liking that, nice touch. Its amazing how much the fronts changed now with the bumper & lights, much fresher look.

Welcome Red.
Certainly a vast improvement on The Shed. Great work and just shows there are still great bargains out there. :yes::yes::yes: |
nice looking car m8, what was up with the motor?
P. |
She looks brilliant. Inspiring, as i too have a solar red ZS. Great job :mml:
|
Cheers for the comments guys ....
When you say what was up with the motor - I'm guessing you're on about me mentioning it running rough on the return trip and not starting when hot. The rough running - I think - was down to a very clogged up and manky air filter and a 10 yr old fuel filter. Sure the new bits from the service - full oil and spark plug change helped too .... Also changed both vis motors. The starting when hot issue was resolved with a new crank sensor. Now running really well and looking forward to the RR in February. |
