Hi guys, after nearly 5 years and 1 recession, I've decided to reignite my love for all things Z. I still have the car and a lot of nice parts, so I figured I'd have another crack at rebuilding it to its former glory. It will take time and money so bear with me ?. I've had a look on here from time to time and it's nice to see there's still plenty of names I recognise, and a few new ones also. This was always a great spot for help, advice and general banter. Living with a Zed in Ireland is always challenging but here goes ?

Anyways.....

How's it going ?? ?

 

Richie

Welcome back. You should get some photos up

Welcome back and what he said above my post. lol

Alright richie

Evenin'!

Welcome back [emoji106]

Good to hear from you Richie :thumbup1: Was your ears burning :biggrin:

Thanks guys, I'll try and do something about pics over the coming week, it's nothing much to look at for the time being.

Yeah Gary, I''d been toying with the idea of getting the car going for the last week or two. Seen you had mentioned me alright, I appreciate it mate.

Anywhoos, time to move on, lesson learned.

Hi Richie - and welcome back mate!!

 

Richard:cool:

So I had a root around the parents shed today and look what I found!

Not the car, but a nice big set of Veilside Andrews alloys. Need a refurb but I'm working on that��

Few extra pics

Bejezus, I'm going for a rummage in my parents shed tomorrow to see if I can find a 4 grand set of wheels knocking about! What an absolutely stunning set of wheels, get those little beauts restored back to their former glory!

That's the plan :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:. Found a company over here that look up to the job. I'll get a price off them sometime next week and see how I fare.

The wheels have been there since I bought them in '06-'07.

On another note.. I'd like to send out a big thumbs up and thanks to Luke at the Z centre if this is ok??

When I bought the Z in '05 I, like many before me started looking at kits and upgrades, I discussed options with Luke who was a trader on here at the time. I arranged to start making payments to Luke until I had enough money to buy a bulk order. As some of you are aware, I had my fair amount of problems with the car and a lot of things got put on hold. I placed an order a couple of days ago on the Z Centre to the tune of a '99 Spec bumper, '99 Spec Indicators and a full Scuttle Panel. I recieved an email from Luke today stating that with VAT and Shipping, the total comes to £822 and to PayPal £22 to complete my order as I had £800 credit. Even after almost 10 years the man remembered and honoured the arrangement (bear in mind, I never rang him, just mentioned it on the order). I have to say that this is spectacular service as other companies would have forgotten or changed owners, management or whatever to write off that money.

I think it's only fair to applause Luke for his customer service.

Many thanks Luke..

Richie

On another note, how come my smilies aren't coming up as smilies??

Thanks

Well done Luke :thumbup1:

Result!

Got a few pics of the car, she's looking very sorry for herself

The car hasn't moved from that spot since November 2009

Some more pics

Get the hose out Richie it just needs a good wash mate.:biggrin:

Yeah! And an engine!

I always wanted those wheels
