Hi everyone I just bought my 1st ZX today!! but i am a real rookie and don't know if I should have bought it or not??

 

Its a 1991 J reg uk manual twin turbo targa, with leather interior

 

all in all its in good condition, its had a respray at one point in its life, looks like it has had some welding done, is that normal??

 

 

I live in Shillington in bedfordshire, is anyone local to me that knows a few things about these and come and have a look at it for me? postcode sg5 3lt

 

07545334586

 

if someone could help me that would be great

 

cheers ed:phone:

Welcome mate.

 

Get some pictures up..

Hi Ed, welcome to the forum!

 

You certainly have made a good decision buying a Z, hope you enjoy it! :thumbup1:

 

and yes welding isn't too uncommon, especially with the UK models that have been subjected to more road salt and nastier weather than the imports.

Welcome Ed to the club and a lot of UK zeds have had welding done mate the JDM Zed's are in better shape. Put some pic's up of your new zed.

Thanks guys will put sme pics up but the car is currently on autotrader, its red and it was up @ 1,795 , 105,000 on the clock, please have a look and tell me what you think??

cheers ed

Looks a good un. And a bargain!

What did you pay?

Yep thats the one, what do you think??

Swapped my Vectra 2.2DTI for it!

Good lad!

Welcome to the club. Looks very tidy and a good price too. There is a chance that most UK models will either need or had done the rear sills, because of the dreaded rot, but it looks like its been looked after.

Congrats on the purchase! look forward to the pics and what welding has been done?

Hi there, welcome to the club, great call buying a ZX, hope you enjoy it.

thanks groover, there is an invoice with a lot of work done in the past, like wheel arch repair, weld up lower port tail gate, and repainted a fitted rear spoiler, looks like it all cost 1360 back in the day!!

Happy days..

Both places that are prone :/ the oem spoiler tends to break down over the years and perish, obviously why the boot has had that work done, good that its been done though !! :balloon:

welcome to the club pal:clap::punk::clap:

Hi and welcome

 

Best thing you can do have a nice drive up to Zedworld and get them to give you a full report on it

 

They will give you a list of anything that needs doing now, anything that will need doing in the near/medium future and tell you what to watch for to add to the list !

 

Well worth it

hello mate, good choice on your new car.

Your just 33miles away from me matey, i could pop over and go over it with you. ill also be turning up in my zed as well :D

Welcome. nice car!

Welcome matey :) Looks like a tidy zed you've bagged yourself their. Go canny though, It's a little bit quicker than your vectra dti :lol:

Welcome to the club Ed - and congratulations on your purchase!!

 

That looks a tidy bargain you got there. Less than £1800 for a UK spec manual; nice one!!
