For good :(

 

Having checked out my position tonight, I can no longer afford to do anything to Eliza. So as she is just sitting there decaying slowly, she's got to go.

It's not a position I want to be in, but being real here I think it's the only thing I can do.... I'm really not happy writing this right now.

 

I'll put up a proper For Sale add in a bit, but to be honest I really don't see anyone wanting it in it's current state, and in the current financial climate.

And before anyone says, I can't break her because I have nowhere to do it, although I know I'd get more for her that way.

Gutted for ya :(

 

I got into the same situation last year for one reason or another, as much as you want to keep, sometimes the only option is to sell :(

 

whats wrong with eliza?

Dave am absolutely devastated for you! :cry:

 

But you gotta do what you gotta do i suppose. :(

Cheers guys, it's appreciated....

 

Right, full list of problems with Eliza, that I’m aware of;

 

Mechanical;

No Turbo boost (needle moves through the – section but will not go beyond 0)

Left-hand o2 sensor needs replacing

Oil leak from rear of bell housing (probably the rear crank seal)

Left-hand CAT overheat wire cut

PCV Valves need replacing

 

Exterior;

Front bumper craked/split

'Z' badge missing

Almost all the lacquer has come off the bonnet area, would need to be re-lacquered

Dent in OSR wing

OSR Sill return and wheel arch are rusting

NSR Sill return starting to rust

Wheels lacquer peeling

 

Also she doesn’t have a current MOT

Oh crap dave, that's really bad news :( I really hope you find a way to sort this out, was always good to see you and eliza at the meets and would be a terrible shame if you parted ways like this

Is that the car in your ride ? if so it is a nice looking car with some crackin parts on it. Must be a sad day for you :cry:

Sorry to hear this mate :(

No way. thats just gutting :cry:

 

they are only minor problems though

Thanks all :bow:

I know, I've even got a replacement set of turbos, but I don't have the facilities to sort it, and I'm broke!

This will be the end of Zed ownership for good, I'll never be able to have another one

I'm really so ****ing pissed off at the moment, it hurts!

If i had the time or the space to do it i'd pull the engine with you mate, so gutted you're actually going to sell her :(

really sorry to hear this mate :( youve put so much time and energy into her. im know your decision is for the best.

Just store till you have the time and money. seem such a waste to let her go for nothing :(

looking at your ride section this was once a great zed very sorry to here it is dying but when it takes more money to fix it than its worth you need to have deep pockets or buy another zed and use your zed as spares good luck to what ever you decide

Mike, you've got PM

Sorry to hear this mate , hope you can find another way and not have to sell , but if it has to be done !! , would be a shame to loose you both :(

 

Chris

Thanks Chris,

 

If she doesn't sell as she is, then I'll have no choice but to keep her, as I'm sure a professional breaker wouldn't give me much at all.

As for loosing me as well, we'll see ;) It won't be easy coming on here knowing I no longer have her, but I'm sure I wont be able to stay away long :D
