Hi guys,

 

How much do u think,

 

Its a 91 twin turbo manual in suzuka grey pearl,

 

Its in the paint shop now being fully repainted again,

Brand new 99spec bumper and new corner lights

New perspex strip

Brand new 99spec lights and centre panel,

Version r skirts, Originals made of plastic not fibreglass,

I think it a 94 spoiler,

Miester r coilovers,

 

new both pieces of the scuttle panel,

 

New tbar ends which are normally broken,

 

has a new uprated radiator,

 

Hid lights,

 

 

Was stripped to a bare shell with photos, undersealed everything cleaned and painted and refitted,

 

Has brand new bbs style wheels with black centres and chrome dishes,

 

Has later spec dash, door pads etc in the swade stuff,

 

And blue and black leather which has no holes but drivers bolster has a tiny mark like the black has worn,

 

Has new front screen with new damn seal, and new trim holder things. new trims around the rear screen because it was removed for respray,

 

Steering rack bushes are energy suspension,

 

Engine bay was stripped to metal re seam sealed and resprayed,

 

I have had a torch in the quarters, and in the seals and it has no rust at all and has had no welding at all,

 

I used dinitrol cavity wax to keep it that way,

 

Powder coated plenum, rocker covers, engine mounts, balance bar, strut brace,

 

Has an na rear end, no hicas,

 

Xtd clutch and flywheel,

 

And lightweight pully set,

 

Greedy exhaust system,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've spent 2yrs messing with it to get it how I want it and now I have 3 kids with a misses nagging me to be sensible I've been looking at a porsche cayenne cause me and her can drive it and all the kids could fit in the back...

 

Obviously the pics are just random pics the paint shop are respraying the bumpers and there was a couple of wobbles in the rear quarters I was not happy with so there guide coating the car blocking it and respraying it again, it looked very nice allready but if you really got close and looked at an angle down the sides there was some wobbles which they reckon will be a lot better,

 

I also had a bit of smoke which I thought was turbos but im guessing it wasn't cause driving to the paint shop there was no smoke at all,

 

It will have a full years mot and tax,

 

So what do u reckon its worth guys I know it wont be a lot, and I can post some fresh pics hopefully at the weekend if the paint shop have finished,

What si said!

I was hoping this was for an agreed valuation for insurance purposes. At least get a year out of it bud.

Just edited your post Si, to make it a little bit easier to read...lol

 

 

oh, and wtf Terry!? say it ain't so mate...

I've done about 200miles lol, I'll be honest I didn't really enjoy it like I used to the bloody coilovers shook my teeth out, the bloody exhaust is not stupid loud but loud,

It was stupid slippery cause I have stock wheel on at the moment even in 3rd was slippery on the motorway rained going to the paintshop,

 

I mean it drove great but I fancy something really smooth and quiet, that I can use with the misses and kids and the way I am with my zed its gonna be a never ending money pit, its gets a bloody stonechip I wanna respray the whole bloody thing its getting really ocd lol...

 

And to be honest I can see where the misses is going not being happy

With it I've spent ridiculous amount of money and time on it,

Easy over 20k...

I must be getting old lol...

These are the wheels it would have

 

there 18 by 9.5 and 8.5...

Gotta put it up for £6k-£7k. You won't find ANY in this condition for a while. I think it is worth more, but market values pay a part in this. There are a few on ebay at the moment for this amount and yours is MILES ahead; it has no horrid bodykit, it has brand new everything pretty much, it's what the general enthusiast looks for IMO.

 

I WOULD BUY IT and there are few around that I'd be happy to part with money on.

Thats quite a lot, I thought they sold for about 3500 to 4000, obviously im waiting to see what the paint comes back like,

I mean no one else saw what I was looking at but there was a few waves but nothing really bad, just bugged me,

but now it should be right...

Ì need to put the rear plastic in the boot cause it was being sprayed I needed easy access to rear lights etc,

But maybe that was why it was noisey,

Was road noise and exhaust, and I was hoping quiet and smooth and its really put me off,

 

Had a porsche cayenne at work and it was perfect and I know me the misses and kids would use it and enjoy it,

I mean the porsche is ugly but its more what we need, the zed only I enjoy and its a bit selfish.

I think si's more accurate with his price mate, don't sell the car for what you thought (unless its to me :)).

Or you could, soften up the suspension. Change the spring rate soften the dampers, not expensive, new springs are about £30 a corner. Get an extra back box welded in the exhaust to quieten it down and realise that if you use it chips happen.

£4k will get you a clean one, but not on this level. This is something a bit special and immaculate TT manuals with original bodies are practually none existant now.

I'd change the springs and change the exhaust, the quad mongoose is a nice refined tone. Last time I looked there was room.in a z for kids too.

Yeah, they aren't that all unsociable cars.

 

I once seen a guy with a skyline, blue and white leather interior and he had a child's car seat re-trimmed in the same material and colour.

 

Keep the car and enjoy it for a bit. The value is only going to go up.

 

Peter.

Around £3k I reckon........................I have the cash waiting lol!

 

In all seriousness, what si says is true but you need the right buyer at those kind of figures.

A good Ad on Pissyheads and £5k should move it pretty quick.........

Cheers guys, I'll wait to it comes out the paintshop put all the interior back in and see how it is...it sounds awesome and the exhaust aint that loud but there loud enough for the cabin to not be quiet, see last summer I ended up using my uncles range rover sport and it was pretty quiet and comfortable but I couldn't stand the horrible wallowing thing on the motorway, then that porsche and its a different type of car,

The zed I just feel like being a menace in it lol...

I love the zed, and mostly its the way it looks, and thats why I hate any chips or things that dont fit right like the bumpers and panels cause they spoil the looks,

I will think seriously about it cause ive had a zed for nearly 10yrs and without one will be strange.

hopefully when I pick it up I'll fall in love again and keep it, but how I feel now after driving the porsche I really want one and can see me selling it...

Hopefully I'll have some pics at the weekend, and i'll know more what to do..

Thanks again everyone for the comments...

dislike :(

i have been down this road in the past when I had the lotus hardly ever got to use it so I sold it then got the Porsche boxster then I wanted some thing I could use all the time so I sold the boxster. and got a bmw x5 now I get to used that every day now so it very good I was going to get the Porsche cayenne but there all petrol engines apart from the very new ones but there just to expensive if you are going to get a x5 or Porsche or range rover to use every day its needs to be a diesel for sure low down TQ perfect for just every day driving don't get a petrol you will regret it. if the z I have was the only car I could have I to would sell it and get something you can use all the time. but if you can afford a other car or already have a other car then selling yours after all that work is just plain stupid sorry terry but its a fact

I hate diesel I work with them every day there nasty crap dirty stinky things that should only be in tractors lol...

There allways going wrong and when they do there horrible, injectors are stupid money and now they seem to allways fail, diesel pumps yuk yuk yuk lol...

if I buy anything it will be a cayenne v8 turbo, and a lot of them have gas.

to be honest I'm not worried about fuel we have a focus for school runs and shopping and would use the cayenne for best,

 

I have 3 kids so they dont all fit in the zed so the zed has to stay at home :sad:

Edited July 10, 201411 yr by Terry

I love petrol in a fast car. but there is no way on this earth I would have a petrol x5. old diesel engines are dirty but the new ones are great for every day driving there well better then petrol the low end tq diesels make it more usable for every day drivin I would not go bk the petrol for a daily driver not a chance. terry you have a every day car a focus that's perfect no I no you have that keep the z

Lol the new diesel engines are horrible mate, we work on them everyday...

They run and go well just overly complicated,

And i dont think the fuel is much better on a range rover sport diesel there horrendous too...

But I like things that are different thats what I like about cayenne its as quick has a zed 450bhp 0 to 60 in 5.5sec and 165mph,

And they handle really well where the range rover is a wobbly boat lol made me feel sea sick...

I don't know yet when I get it back I'll see, the only thing I hate about the zed is not using it and enjoying it with the misses and kids...

the engine in me x5 has been great in fact the whole car has been great not one prob since I have had it. I said I would never have a diesel but now I wouldn't go back. the cayenne looks nice but there a cruzer no a racer even with the big engines. my x5 is a sport has stiffer damper and I handles really really well. get the z finished mate you have come to far to do a u turn now

And if u get one on gas if it does 10mpg it will be more like 18mpg,

I know what your saying about the zed and were see lol...

But I was looking at x5, range and cayenne vs each other and it reckons the cayenne handles much better they said it handles better then most sports cars in the reviews but it depends what x5 you have...maybe you have a newer x5...

I sold my last white Zed. It was a 1995 N/A Auto but ion MINT condition. I fitted new bumpers, full tasteful bodykit, new alloys, recovered interior in black and white leather, installed a full size ipad in the centre column to replace Sterio and vents then sold the car a few years ago.

 

BIGGEST regret of my car owning life, and i've had some stunning cars, Trans Ams, Camaros, Supras, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mitsubishi GTO etc.

 

Selling he Zed was my biggest regret.

 

Now trying to get my new one up to a similar standard but i know it won't be the same.

 

Peter

Realistically how far will £4k perhaps £5K go in todays cost of living?, Buy yourself a Cayenne, widen your drive and keep what will be one of the best Zeds in the country on the Road.......it won't be every day you want to go out with the Wife and Kids...Lol!
