Yesterday afternoon some cnut keyed one of my Zeds all the way along the passenger side. Whoever did it meant business because its right down to bare metal and beyond. Looks like a screw driver was used. I suspect I know who did it, but the police are a waste of sperm when it comes to looking into such matters as shown by past expereince when the same car was paint strippered a few years ago.

 

I need to decide whether to get it repaired or just her as she is as an emergency spare car for when my other one plays up. Due to my insurance history (plonkers hitting me) I daren't make a claim for fear of what it will do to my premiums, so he question is really how much she is worth since I'm not willing to spend more than that on a respray.

 

So, how much is a bulk standard 1990 UK car with the best part of 190k miles on the clock worth. She still goes like a rocket but is a little thirsty for the oily stuff.

190k :shock: :bow: :bow: :bow:

 

and I was worrying cos I'm approaching the big 100k.

No idea what it'd be worth though mate.

Unlucky about the keying, some people should just be taken out and shot

Fekkin anus's

 

I'd use a bigger gun myself............

 

 

Wouldnt have a clue on what she's worth im afraid, If its only a spare Z (how nice is that) i wouldnt worry too nuch about it, there's plenty of cheap sprayers around. Best of luck with whatever you decide on fella.

Yeah, just buy a touch up pen and fill the scratch with that.

Sorry to hear this mate. Use airosols. Spay it with primer. The primer will shrink then wet sand with fine paper to remove excess primer. Then spay with top coat and repeat sanding procedure as often as required till smooth.

 

It'll stop it rusting and if you do a good job you'll be hard pressed to spot it.

 

Ya know its worth it.
