The new ZS!!

Thanks for all the help/advice guys. It's been a long journey but I'm finally an owner of a ZS. Meet YY03 GPK, a hatchback ZS + 120.

Didn't miss a beat on the drive home, boy can you take those corners with confidence! Everything works as it should, apart from the dreaded digital clock missing a couple of digits.

The car itself is completely stock (to the best of my knowledge), minus the original stereo. If anyone can let me know if anything doesn't look stock I'd be happy to hear. Will be looking for build data as I'd love to know more about the car.

Happy to now be part of the club.

That does look very tidy. Really pleased for you, worth the wait. I still have my original factory fitted Kenwood cassette head unit and boot mounted disc changer in a box in the garage. No idea why I still have it as it’ll never go back in!

Thanks everybody, really happy to be part of the club.

I do plan to get the car looked over properly at some point by a local specialist here in Donny for peace of mind. There are a couple slight oil leaks but I think these are coming from the timing belt cover and the rear camshaft cover. Whoever has put one of the rear camshaft covers back on has been liberal with the black sealant and it's weeping slightly so will get that sorted with the cam belt change ASAP.

But apart from that, very happy with it. All fixable.
