Hi,

 

I have an M registered automatic ZX , full leather , targa top.

 

The car is my second the original was stolen after much work was done at Maldon.

 

A few years ago the ZX blew a gasket which started a train of events ( basically let down badly by 2 garages) and I became so disenchanted I have sincelet the car sleep at the side of the house.

 

As the ZX has always been and still is my favourite car I have never had the heart to sell it despite realising that at 64 I am probably too old to own it and no longer have the funds :wheelchair::wheelchair:(grandchildren see to that ) to fund the necessary repairs.

 

What prompted me to look at it again was an article in the May edition of Banzai featuring a beautifully rebuilt 1200hp zx. I must say I was tempted to restart the love affair but my wife has persuaded me that my Fiat coupe turbo is fun enough for someone my age

Thanks for your messages and encouragement,overwhelmed by the friendly response.

 

You guys are tempting me to start this as a project but I think it's probable a job too far for me especially as I really don't know if it's in good enough shape to try and save.

 

 

PS You underestimate the Fiat Turbo coupe at your peril its a seriously fast car and made mincemeat of my Honda S2000 in any gear -if you want a smaller Zx to run around in this Fiat is a great fun 2nd car

anyway why not get some pics of the areas you are concerned about and get them on here and we will all be happy to comment and be totally honest with you, if its worth saving...as said before i for 1 wud be happy to sacrifice a day or 2 helping out

Sandy have put my car on the Cars for Sale thread but your offer made me think can I do the work myself. What sort of help is available locally ie I stay just outside East Kilbride,is there anyone eg who could advise on the condition of the chassis area etc ?
