I think I will drive the zed into work this week and see if I feel the same way, feeling somewhat torn as I know what I want for it but this will not be met with nodding heads! Brutal truth is, it is worth more in bits and that I can't bring myself to do.

I can see the temptation with a low milage, well looked after if not almost mint mk2 but and it's a big but!!!
Comparing the spec the mk2 is going to be a major let down in performance and handling compared to your mk1 mick?

I know, I know!
A valid point and one I was trying to ignore hence why I was going to drive mine a bit more. If this BTCC kit was going to happen then it may tempt me to stay!
Even the missus hinted that will this stay standard................ she knows me only too well!
Maybe I need to drive a standard 180 again, for the life of me I can't remember what it is like!

You will get into the mk2 and be disappointed. Afraid to say. Taphouse did it when he sold the red one and got into the black one. Instantly turned of because to make it what he wanted i.e the one he just sold meant shelling out a fortune again.

That's where smokies idea works - it is taking me a while to swap bits to my mk2 but I'm really starting to like it.
However Mick, you need to consider why you have a ZS at all, is it a daily driver or now more of a hobby car?
Have you considered shifting your other car or is that not an option now because of the dogs, caravan, trips to the tip etc?
And to answer the original question - in this category a standard car will be worth more than a modified one and the modified one will be worth more as parts.
Good luck with what ever you decide - I waited for the mk2 to come along that I was willing to afford, I missed several but am happy with mine, I think the point I'm making here is don't loose too much sleep if someone else gets Chris's car.

If you take the good bits of the mk1 then there is no real value left so becomes expensive then.
