i have just bought this zed, you may remember it was owned by member called 300 horses & chris holford. its a manual tt.so question is should i break it or keep ?? if i get enough interest i'll break it as it has plenty aftermarket parts including performance clutch 18" mania racing alloys, suspension etc also has a low mileage replacement engine fitted have a look at the attachments cheerz

If you could match the paint, wack on a 99-spec front bumper, and wing, then sell it. Looks quite nice apart from the damage.

Outwardly it looks like a pretty straightforward repair to me.

the paint is stunning & expensive lol, but it was sprayed at FG bodyshop in notts only few mins away from me so i'll ask him what it will cost etc,only needs two wings bumper headlights & one ic may be bonnet

So who crunched it then? Chris?? You know how it happened?

i have a good pair of ic's going really cheep

break it, i may be interested in the exhaust, at a reasonable price obviousely lol

yeah break it, i will have the engine and box

if you do decide to fix it, i can do you a deal for the wings, bonnet and i/c, if you need anything else, pm me

something in the steering must have snapped as one wheel is turning left, the other right. could be some damage you havent seen yet

would get it checked out properly before making a decision

 

first dibs on exhaust though lol

or does it just look like that due to the wings being smashed in lol

i just want ya engine lol

1st for engine and box

or does it just look like that due to the wings being smashed in lol

i just want ya engine lol

lol im breaking my own zed at present so have all parts needed if i decide it repair :tongue: :)

I believe whoever bought the car from 300horses had a lot of problems with the car, unless they have been sorted it might be easier to break it, I doubt you have paid too much for it and with all the extras it has it should be a nice earner.

no worries fella, how much do you want for the rear cf skin for tailgate ??

1st dibs have been taken bud, but ill keep you updated!

this was my brothers car, which was hit in the side at 50-60mph, the other car which pulled out without looking into the side of my brothers car was spun round 180 degrees! My brother was lucky enough to avoid a head on colission, his gf suffered wiplash. Most of intercooler and radiator pipe work is damaged as coolant and water was all over the road, the passenger side wishbone was completly sheered off with the fron tyre and possibly buckled wheel inbedded into the front wing, the impact from the front wing had bent the sill and door, the bonnet was bent up and windscreen smashed. front headlights damaged and chassis bent.

 

My brothers car had been off the road having a new engine and turbos for 6 months with a company called Anglian engine services who was a complete twat and didn't know what he was doing. The engine and turbos cost £3k approx, the car cost £6k from previous owner 300horses (charlie) who knowingly sold the car with a damaged piston, when my brother brought the car from him there was some oil on the garage floor, this was said to be a old leak that had been fixed which in fact was because the oil was blown straight through the piston and out the dipstick.

 

When my brother got this car back he had to spend a further amount of money changing a dodgy replacement temp sensor and boost hose that had been damaged by anglian engine services and pay for a new mot even though anglian engine services had done one and charged for it but lost the certificate and couldn't remember what garage they did it at!

 

So the car cost getting on for £10k was insured for £6k and the insurance company offered £3.5k then upped the offer to £4.25k but took away the hire car forcing my brother to spend £300 on a banger until it was settled, they then charged 3 months at £100 to insure a ford siera worth £300.

 

THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THAT THEY HAD "CRUSHED" THIS CAR!!!!

 

Now someone as brought it for a few quid and stands to make quite a bit of money brealking it or put it back on the road and sell a death rap to some unsupecting mug.

 

my point is that people think that if someone (300horses) pays £20 to join a forum that they won't rip people off. Insurance companys are a rip off, and some people will put people in danger just to make a few quid cause couple of panels and bit of paint later this car will be in autotrader and people will be none the wiser.

hi mate, i have spoke to chris (your bro) since i purchased his ex car because when i first saw the car at a salvage yard i knew ive seen it before etc, then realised it used to belong to a member, i have all parts to repair this car but not sure what to do i might go ahead with breaking it for parts alloys are not buckled as i have tested them on my zed without any problems apart from the obvious kerb marks engine runs perfectly since i cleaned all connection etc, no water leaks rad is perfect all it needs is screen bumper wishbone headlights headlight panel wings maybe a bonnet & repair to door/side skirt no other damage shame really as its a nice zed specially as its a manual & paint is stunnig
