After owning my zed for nearly 2 years, it now actually a nice car to drive for the first time. Engine purrs, boost is spot on, handles lovely and i actually drive it not worrying something going to go tits up. Its been a long road, but now i may be able to start on the bodywork.
Work so far.
Full Service inc Cam Belt & Water Pump etc (had no prev history)
