groover Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 After going to a mates scrapyard for some wheels for a 323, i got talking about my zed and he said his son had one a while ago that he broke up for parts, but he has another one he doesnt want to break, but doesnt have time for any more, so i said let me talk to him and see if i cant buy it off him. 10 mins later i bought it, a black UK J reg Auto TT with scorpian exhaust, solid sills, alloy wheels, 103,000miles, engine sounds sweet. Got horrible Fiat back lights which will come off, needs a bit of TLC, but perfect for my winter project, aside from the one im driving, project :biggrin: Cant believe i found one so local to me and soooooo cheap :thumbup: Didnt have the wheels for the 323, but in the upside, pick it up next Monday and will take some pics, but happy ive got myself a TT even though i still love my NA:thumbup1: And i can steal the maf for mine for now till i sort another :laugh: Quote

Stephen Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Now the yellow one will never get painted. Quote

AndrewG Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Another UK Zed saved! What a nice find. Quote She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went - Simply irresistible.
Stephen Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I'm always looking for a good excuse to make my first visit to the white isle. Quote
groover Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 We could do a meet in the summer, but the bloody ferry is nearly the price of 3/4 tank of fuel :thumbdown: Quote
ianl Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 We used to come over in the summer for a meet, back when people went to them Quote [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
groover Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 I remember, Scotty organised a trip over on the weekend i was working away, typical eh :whistling: Quote
Stephen Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 We could do a meet in the summer, but the bloody ferry is nearly the price of 3/4 tank of fuel :thumbdown: Which is the main reason I've never been, I see the island very often as you can see it from the clifftop in town. Winter crossings are cheaper arnt they? Quote
groover Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Winter crossings or the odd deal in the paper can be cheaper, a day return isnt too bad from this side, about £42 but turn that into an overnight stay and its £50- odd, turn that into a week and its ridiculous. Red Funnel are often cheaper and do some good deals, but Wightlink are money grabbers lol Quote
Steams Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Nice one Graham :thumbup1: What colour primer are you going for ? lol Quote
groover Posted October 31, 2013 Author Posted October 31, 2013 Primer lol. i have had a load of polish and wax waiting to be used for the past 4 years, i just hope they havent got a use by date:biggrin: Quote
Steams Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Primer lol. i have had a load of polish and wax waiting to be used for the past 4 years, i just hope they havent got a use by date:biggrin: You get a nice matt black primer now mate. lol Quote
