That pic just made me sick in my mouth abit!

Very nice motor mate! Love that front bumper :)

i always log on to the forum, my ebay and my hotmail as soon as i get to work. not supposed to use the internet at work but what they don't know doesnt hurt them or me as long as i always remember to delete my history before i go home :)

well the petrol issue (as is the rust) is all part and parcel of owning a zx :) even if i could have a more economical every day car i wouldn't as the zed never fails to put a smile on my face :) (except when i goes wrong every other week lol)

typical problem with these cars though ain't it, annoying thing is, the zed i am breaking was almost rust free. i even cut off the sill from it to save on fabrication costs for the new zed. the bloke who's doing my car has just relocated the targa drains to save this from ever happening again, which should future proof it for a bit longer.

exactly why i'm getting it done mate! i'm just preying it will all be done and finished soon as i want my car back especially for jae :)

Just got back from visiting my much missed Zed, both the inner sills have now been replaced. He said he will be starting on the wheel arches tomorrow. Really can't wait to get the old girl back, its typical that the best roof off weather comes when the Zed is having reconstructive surgery :(

Well we know who not to buy "new" items from in the future then. Still a very nice spoiler though, and as said already... It can be fixed!

Just got back from the body shop with a couple of photos of how bad the rear of the sills are, he's started on the worst one first so let's let the photos do the talking. Obviously not very good! Before he got to what you see above, he found what's in the photo's below... Now that is one hell of a lump of filler! Why don't people do a job properly in the first place? Who ever did it went to alot of effort to hide the fact it was there! And all this is because of the bloody targa drains, thanks Mr Nissan for such a stupid design!

just had a call from the body shop...... the rot is alot worse than first thought, both the inner arches are completely rotten aswell! looks like the bill is going to go up a bit :( might go down this evening to get an idea of how bad it actually is and get some photo's while i'm at it.

Is this'd what all that good news bad news stuff was about then? Anyway is good to know Zed world will be looked after by yet another very experienced Zed head. Congrats mate.

Hope your semi retirement treats you both well and once your settled over there, don't forget to invite us all for a free holiday :) Good luck to the both of you, you deserve it!

I don't mind telling you mate, its a bloke called mike from mpc auto repairs. I am going down there in about an hour to drop the car off. Although I'm now thinking about leaving the skirts for now and getting him to remove the stone chip along the sides for a cleaner look, can always get the skirts done in the future. I will ask for a quote on how much a complete respray would be if you want mate.

I've been quoted £400/£500 for all the work that needs doing which after a few other quotes seemed like a bargain.

I wouldnt dream of doing a follow up, I don't want to be banned :)

Shame I can't come, was really looking forward to seeing everyone again and especially seeing marks Zed after all the work that's been done on it!

I'm guna ask the body shop to take photo's the whole way through the process not just for the forum but also to go with all the other history the car came with. Now this is all getting done, hopefully I'll be able to put it through the mot properly, as I have doubts that the one I bought the car with was genuine.

in the past few weeks I have been in two minds as to keeping or selling my TT, But have decided that I am not willing to give up on this zed! So...... This morning I went to go and see a couple of body shops to see about having my sills, wheel arches, boot lid (bird shit had ****ed the paint while I was away on holiday) and a few other blemishes sorted. After a little chat with the body shop owner, managed to get a very attractive price for all the work, so it should be off to them on Monday evening. Also decided that while its there, they can also paint and fit my impul side skirts that I've had sitting at work since I bought them ages ago for my old n/a. Once I get it back I'm going to get started on the minor misfire issue by replacing a lot of the connectors and the ptu. Then its onto the front brakes, which are causing a severe wheel wobble under braking. Also got my old leather interior to go in to replace the horrible tweed and some modified speaker housings to replace the awful farting speakers that are in there at the moment. Really looking forward now to getting it sorted at last so I can finally enjoy it like I used to enjoy the old Zed.

Really sorry guy and gals, I can no longer make it. I just can't afford it at the moment. Hope everyone has a great weekend though.

How about a slice of this classic.....

Sorry to here about your problem mate, if I was you I'd send it off to jeff as he will have it sorted in no time.

I'd be up for it if I have had my sills repaired by then.

if a jobs worth doing right then send it to jeff :) What he doesnt know about these cars, isn't worth knowing!

Good work mate, nice looking chair. I'm a man of comfort so looks like a nice pillow would be the final touch IMO.

Just put the part number on the black box into Google and it came up with this.... http://nissan.epc-data.com/fairlady_z/z32/6025-vg30d/misc/F22/KF2029/
