rcoubrough Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Hello! Having just moved to north Bracknell, i have finally scraped together some pennies to buy myself a zed! Reading through some threads i saw a few of you live Ascot way?? About my zed: 3.0 TT manual, Jap import. It runs beautifully, but is need of some body work/ cosmetic work to be done! It sailed through its MOT and service at zed world ( Phew :yes: ), and as its an import, doesnt have any corrosion. What lets the beast down is that it has a fair few dents all over, so will need 2 new front wings, new n/s door, aaaaaaand a respray :pinch: ! Ry Quote

300ZX_666 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Welcome buddy, get some pics up of your Zed please, sounds a nice one, I have a Jap import NA. Quote
Andy Isherwood Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Welcome bud. I'm just round the corner. Might have a couple of wings for you too! Pictures please! Quote
TwinTurboRich Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Just noticed......where is BERSKSHIRE ? :lol: Quote
rcoubrough Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome! looking forward to expanding my knowledge on the zed, just browsing through; there is about a years worth of reading to do - very helpful!!! haha nice spot Rich, its just north of Hampskhire! Quality to see you're just round the corner Andy! Yes mate, that would be ace if you have some wings kicking about! p.s. My knowledge of mechanics is not too good, so if you ever need someone to stand there holding parts/general labour i'd be up for helping as i could watch and learn! Quote
leo-r32gts Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Don't worry too much about the body work bud, cars this age do have a few battle scars - if your car was absolutely mint, you'd be too worried to leave it anywhere!! Get it looking respectable and let other people worry about minor imperfections! Welcome to the club - Jap TT's rule - its official! Quote
Daffy Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Hiya bud, i'm just down the road from you in Twyford. We should organise a meet at Andy's and ogle his plenum. Quote
leo-r32gts Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Ah, nowt a bit of elbow grease won't polish out!! Like those wheels too - old school! All in all, a fine looking machine - nice purchase! Quote
indian_zx Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 same rear lights as me mate, except mine has a shitty carbon fibre around it Quote
Pablito Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Just noticed......where is BERSKSHIRE ? :lol: you had better hope it's not too close to BESERKSHIRE or else you may suffer the wrath!:taz: Quote
Andy Isherwood Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Hiya bud, i'm just down the road from you in Twyford. We should organise a meet at Andy's and ogle his plenum. oohh eerr Mrs! Quote
Andy Isherwood Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Hi Ry, I'm about today and tomorrow working on the car, Give me a shout if you want to pop over. Andy Edited May 21, 2011 by Andy Isherwood Quote

rcoubrough Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 Ah, nowt a bit of elbow grease won't polish out!! Like those wheels too - old school! All in all, a fine looking machine - nice purchase! This is true about having a perfect body- you would be constantly paranoid about some pillock nudging your car in a supermarket car park etc!! I must however admit the pictures are deceiving, as they hide the dents quite nicely!! And yeah i love the wheels, remind me of a ferrari F40 ....however they are also in need of a refurb! they've got what looks like limescale type stuff encrusted all over them which must have settled on them after years of neglect :no: ! But i've read up on the respray thread on here, so will give them a rub down and spray! Daffy mate - that sounds like a plan!! Nice one Andy - Just woken up from a lovely night shift-will give you a bell if your still working on your machine! Quote
Andy Isherwood Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Nice to meet you Ryan. It's good to have another local enthusiast in the area. You have a good car there just a few minor bits need sorting as per usual but nothing too drastic. Give me a shout any time. Andy Quote
