Been offered a wide arse uk z engine and tubs only 10k old with reciepts for 8k [from turbo developments] for turbo and engine bits alone, the car has failed mot on rust havent seen it as yet but thinking of gettiong it to replace my turbos as they will req doing soon I think.

 

My question is this.....is the body kit worth salvaging or if I buy it just bin the shell?

 

Dave

depends how bad the rust is, but a wide arch kit, if you can get it off the car with out damaging it, possibily around £250, dont they go brand spankers for 350?

cills are gone the whole length of car so will take a look at the kit, shame really because thousands has been spent on this car:no:

Has it got wide front wings as after some?

The ZCentre Viper front wings are not wider than stock.

Thanks Mate.............hopefully will get pictures soon:blush:

Yewcheck, are the front wings wider ?

relying on being able to remove a fibreglass widearch kit in one piece is a big risk. If the corrosion is not that bad you would probably be better of seeling it a Widearch rolling shell once you've removed the running gear.

Ian, where did you get the wider front wings? Zcentres are just standard size. I even mailed him the other day and was told he dont do wider ones

if they are copys of these then no doubt they are already wider, im running et +35 on the front an i will need spacers if i wish to sit flush with the arches.

Thats normal. ET35 is a very weak front offset. Depending on width you typically need around et+20 for the front to sit flush on stock arches.

Not Sure Ant but you will be the first to know:thumbup1:

Dave Apparently [not seen myself] but there are no cills both sides of the car, so possibly anouther z going to that great breakers yard in the sky.

Baz plate was on the car but now its back on an H plate, I got that reg from all the docs with car, but must have been transfered some years ago as the car has not been on road since 2003/4.
