spongey

WOW That puts my little list to shame, Im doing mine a bit slower then yours mate and only in the 3 stages because thats all i could handle at once, even then the whole interior for me seems a huge Job let alone you doing all round together.

The brakes have been upgraded allready :) see rides, I will add in a whole new set-up with the respray. I know roughly what the respray will cost and that id need to throw 10-15k at the engine for decent BHP So I know to have the car as i want is looking 30-35k but thats WAAAAAYY down the line, Which is why ive split it up, the interior asap, The respray 2yrs on, the engine 4-6yrs on and ive allowed for repairs and maintanance. Its this list i need help with, Dont know if ive overpriced things or underpriced them, Wanted to see if anyone had any ideas for the interior that ive left out or have missed and to get some prices/deals off anyone selling the above. Im not aspiring to have MAC`s car or CJ`s, i want it to be as I want it but being new to the ZED im still learning, My golf is as we want it and was easy to see what could be done but this is a whole new car and new prices :( and with everyday i see new things and learn something new so thought id throw it open as i need to get this interior done yesterday.

Well if this shopping list comes off then ill see at least this summer and most likely next summer aswell in Pearl white :rofl: :rofl: Why am i laughing :confused:

Im hoping not too much can go wrong with the interior :) Its the engine holding out untill the rebuild that worries me more lol, as for black im still not 100% sure if thats how ill go but keeping this white clean is a nightmare and IMHO shows the age a little more then other colours do unless your Funky Si and have a showroom colour finish

Ive split my car into 3 parts, 1st = interior + needed mods 2nd = Bare metal respray + wide arse 3rd = Engine mods The car is running sweet as so the engine is fine (touch wood) so is the last mod to happen, Respray is very high but i can live with the Pearl White untill she goes Black which leaves the interior. Im a bit of a new freak so everything has to be mint and as this is where ill see the car the most, plus other little bits and pieces that are crying out to be done.

Any traders deals for these bits would be great too please :)

Cheers, Ill send him an email :)

I thought you got stung by tax`s using the usa ebay so have never bothered TBH. Apache, i searched and found him, he has the reverse of the one i want as in the 300zx is written in metal but it looks promising :D Thanks guys

Cheers mate but ive been looking on there and havnt seen any. Unless its on the US of A ebay as i dont bother looking on there?

The fairlady Z radio cover thing? It seems like its in metal with the letters cut out with leds behind it. Ive gone all blue and think this will finsih it but cant find it anywhere.

Sell the spare bonnet and the one you have on and get this ;) http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=86354

:dance: :D ITS WORTH PHONING UP!!!! :D :dance: Looks like i may have to put back some other mods and making this a priority, any good sprayers out there mind quoting me for this bonnet sprayed in pearl white please? Has anyone seen this on a car yet and sprayed? I cant imagine what it would look like on there with some lovley chrome mesh peeping back at you :D

£325 + vat :dance: How much would it cost at a guess to get it resprayed? Just the bonnet to match the rest of the car?

On the site he has pics of it on a car, Its hard to picture what it would look like all the same colour but i love the vents. Its a mean looking front :cool: Havnt seen one like this before and thought the viper wings on there own didnt look amazing but im allready checking the bank balance. beats purple chequered squares anyday :rofl:

Its a new bonnet from the Zcentre, Seems pretty cheap too :dance: Just need to get the wings now :cry:

I wouldnt be seen dead in it but its the strangest one ive seen.

:) Its the first time ive stopped as id never seen the chequered one before.

Will the missis put out tonight? :headvswal So i could have gone and said hello, Didnt want to bother someone who i didnt know. Cheers mate

It on a road just above the M4, Runs pretty much along side it. Between J15 and J14 and is roughly north of membery services, These are the names of places around here... Peaks down? Gore la Farm? Bailey Hill farm? It looks like a farm but has loads of recovery vehicles there, This bloke has loads of zeds and i mean LOADS!!! I see different ones there everytime i pass there and as you can see in the pictures he has some mental ones, I counted about 7 there today. Have allways wanted to pop in and ask him what he does with them all but i never see anyone there in person :(

Small world mate :) Im from london but have been up here about 4.5yrs now, Have to meet up one day, be nice to meet a ZED owner that close. My cars in my rides, say hello if you see it about :)

Where abouts are you mate? Im only down the road in marston moretaine :)

I saw a 350zed in a petrol station today and had a brief look inside. Crap, if you like all that new plastic tacky looking tat then you will like it. doesnt seem to have the same meaness about it and i dont think you would feel the same presance in one as a zed. Me and my mate both come to the conclusion that they have had 17yrs since they made mine to improve and design a "better" car but its still not up to the cut. Looks nice, bit of a hairdressers car (one whose doing well though) but this is coming from someone whose never been in one or driven in one. Sounds very quiet aswell, no growl or grunt when he pulled off. All above comments are in my own personal view and mean no offence to anyone who has one

Thats the spirit :D See what its worth compared to other similar condition cars when its fixed and see what it worth sold as seen. Im no good with that kind of thing but just pop up a post asking what your spec car is worth.

Breaking would be the best finacially but for no other reasons :mad: There shouldnt be a need to take another of the road if it can be fixed up and carry on. Depending on what your cheque was, if it covers the cost of repairs then fix it up and sell it on, then by a diesel (shudder) Sell it on here though as you will get peanuts on ebay. Or buy a rail card, give me your zed and drink the payout money :)

Sorry mate. Ill ask around tomorow and if i can find anything ill send that also :)

Just open and save the photos on here that you posted up unless there was a lot of others that you didnt post up :( What hosting site did you use as photobucket keeps them in an album
