Remember this post a few weeks ago???

 

 

 

 

Got a mid morning call from my best mate, he had a moment on the M40 this morning going to work and despite been an ace driver could not stop the 180 spin into the barrier!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good news he walked away unhurt, which is the most important, but his zed of 14 years ownership is looking less well, thank goodness for the barrier which stopped this been a very different outcome.

So after much deliberation should it be repaired or should it not be repaired with 14 years of ownership the decision was made and work has begun, though it might be interesting to share the progress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is a whole lot of unpicking welds and cutting, the main fram is good but the front corner is a mess, have some more pics to upload later, ENJOY

Looking forward to following this Jeff.

Looks nasty - but as you say Jeff, it could have been a lot worse!!

 

It's great to see another ZX living on though... I am pleased it's being saved!

Yay!! Nice to see someone take the (not necessarily financially wise) decision to save a car they love! :thumbup:

The cost is certainly not been a factor in to repair or not to, or the it would firmly be a NO!

 

So the repair parts list is huge however with a donor zed at hand we have started the process.....

 

so a little taster until I can upload some more later.

 

 

 

So the donor zed.

A lot of work but 14 years of ownership makes it hard to let go. Nice thread Jeff and looking forward to updates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great work so far Jeff, I was hoping it was going to be saved

This thread makes me happy. I'd hate to see a day when there ae no Z32s left. Good on you guys! Keep up the epic work.

The irony is... The donor zed looks quite tidy lol! Looks like a mammoth task you have there, look forward to more pics :-)

awesome thread

Very interesting seeing how the 300 is constructed under its outer skin.

my thoughts exactly

No chassis damage then or has it been on a jig already?

 

Great project and great commitment to keep the zed on the road.

Small update, rear quarter, sill and door in place.

Great work lads, nice to see someone saving a zed rather than junking it :)

Amazing :bow:

i personally wouldnt go through that much hassle for a car unless it was worth a fortune, i love cars but not that much !
