Well after around trip of 450 miles yesterday and some of the wettest weather I have ever driven in I am the the new owner of a SWB Slicktop N/A, got lots of plans for it.

It will be getting some of the parts from my silver car and then I will be breaking it. I don't have any pictures of my own at the moment but I'm sure Mark alias (Mackam_Maz)won't mind me using some of his, thanks Mark and good luck in your new adventure.

 

 

Cheers Paul

very nice fella:thumbup1:

Looks lovely matey, well done. Love the colour.

Very nice! Like the wheels

 

Also, I see you're in Rochester same as me! Wanna get the ball rolling for a Kent meet soon. Thinking maybe bluey or Dockside etc in the new year.

One day I will deeply regret selling that car.:pinch:

Congratulations on a good purchase.:cool3:

That is a very rare car here in the UK and Mark has added hugely to its spec/value:yes:

Nice slicky!!

 

Congratulations on your new purchase mate!!

Thanks Pete, it's the fact that it is a rare car that attracted me to it, I know that both you and Mark have spent time and money on the car over the years, I did a lot of searching on this forum to track down the history of it. I also have some plans for it, I like detail so will be renewing some of the trim and interior panels 99 spec bumper and rear lights, might even give it a respray.

I do have one question for you pete what happened to the drivers door window runner, it appears to be pushed over so you see part of the door post?

To be honest the window and roof trims could do with freshening up and a good polish which is what I like doing to my cars.

It was like that when I bought it from the dealer in Bham. They were the only other owner here in the Uk and had only registered it to sell it. So I assume it was done in Japan..

Either a break in or a "lost the key job??? I dunno.

Ok, Cheers Pete

Nice new addition Paul, but whats wrong with the silver one, was one of my favourites?

Well done on buying this great slicktop and good to see it stays in the club:thumbup1: Keep us updated on your updates:biggrin:

Hi, there's not a lot wrong with it Graham, it had an injector go down and I had it changed buy someone local to me, it was returned to me with the engine not running 100% and saying it needed further investigation but I never took it back and through lack of use I lost interest in it. I know I will not get anyone to buy it without an mot and with it's current problem so I will break it to fund my new toy, it has some nice bits on it so I should recoup most of the money I paid for the new one.

I used PlatiDip on mine and was impressed with the results.

I could be interested in your silver Zed as it is, or with all the goodies removed :)

Hi Noz, Pm me with any ideas you have about the car.

 

cheers Paul

Paul, thats a nice looking Z, shame to brake the silver one though, are you going to repaint the whole car or just the odd panel?

Very nice! Like the wheels

first friday of the month Bluewater, House of Fraser car park Supra club meet there I take my Z so would be nice to see a few more.

Hi Bob, I think it will end up a full respray, a lot will depends on funds, I want to fit a vented bonnet I've been working on and fit the 99 spec bumper from the silver car, I might get a new drivers door for it (read post 10) also thinking about removing the stone guard from the sills and rear bumper.
