They do have a guy on the fabrication side. Some infos on the zedworld website :) Cheers Russ! It's one of those jobs I've wanted to do since getting the car. This thread was meant to be about zed saviour not a price riot lol.

really like it. first time i've seen it on a zed.. i think it works :D

Yea I hear you mark. I took a shed load of pictures of the problem areas and emailed them over to Lynda. I'm no novice when it comes to repairs like this, and even if it's slightly more than this in the end, you don't go into something without a decent estimate! And given all the work will be done at once, by people who truly know what they are doing I'm sure it's all going to be worth it to see another zed saved!

That's what I was quoted. Saying that, there might be bits and bobs to add on as with these jobs there's always more once you crack it all open :)

hey mate! yes she will live on :) Heres a clip of her living it up ;) Tinkered with a few bits since I took her on.. at the point where i cant really do a lot more power wise on standard injectors. not bad for 115k miles and fully loaded with everything still in the boot. :D

will do. i'm happy with how quick she is for now, 13.1 on the 1/4 mile wasnt too shabby - so its about getting all the boring bits fixed that let the car down slightly at the moment.

got my quote for extensive sill/rot repair issues all around the car at £1k for: -full sill replacement + undersealed -front turret suspension mount and inner wing rebuild -leading edge rear arch/sill replacement and supporting internals. this is for both sides of the car, and we see way too many of these old girls getting broken, and i've decided its about time we saw a few more getting rescued! the cars by no means a rusty hulk but if i'm getting it done, i want all the usual problems dealt with so I never have to worry about them again. cars MOT isnt for a couple of months, and I could probably get it through for far less BUT would just run into other issues in 12 months time on a diff part of the sill. see you on the other side (in november anyway :P)

sounds like the kind of guy i wouldnt want anywhere near my zed!

sorry to hear of all the troubles guys, but on a small plus note, i hope you take pride in how relieved some of the members on here are that you are still there to work your magic. I hadnt got to you before the changeover was announced and was gutted! at the very least, it gives a few of us peace of mind that the zeds will carry on getting the best care!

Thanks for that! Should sharpen the old girl up a bit, and it's a job I can manage to do since having my heart attack!

legnum vr4 2.5 V6 turbo. yes please.

thanks for that mate. they look really smart too and althought they're white, they've still got a nice factory-esq look as theyre not all OTT. did they cost the same as the ones that were listed on ebay? could somebody sub'd kindly give groover a poke for me? if he knows what LED's and resistors i may need, that would be really handy.

and surely phutumsch you are the master of all things LED/illuminated.. have you done all the switchgear/controls/dash LED conversions?

if i hadnt just had a heart attack i'd help you out. i agree you should try vodkashots, this sounds like it could be a very very simple fix if its just something re-assembled wrong or a hose off. and, if the turbos werent working at all, wouldnt the vacuum reading go even lower on throttle, as the engine would create more vacuum?

Yes mate that's the one!! But the type 1 black style, and white illumination not plasma :) Is it a lot of work taking all the switch gear apart? Do they tend to break being 20 years old?

Does anyone remember a few months ago there was a European seller doing some really classy simple clock facias? I'm looking to remove my plasma glow ones. All my switch gear has blue LEDs in it too, I'd like to go back white but with LEDs. Sharpen it up whilst keeping a stock-ish look

not a fan of the styling.. but i get the V8 noise, even if it doesnt make a huge performance difference, there is something to be said for how a car makes you FEEL. i'm always tempted by TVR chimaera's.. yes not as reliable as some, and not as quick as some... but with the roof off, those looks, that interior and the sound of the V8, i reckon i could live with it being slower..

another zed lives! :D

i think i know where michael jacksons jacket from thriller ended up..

can i lick it?

remember seeing your car boldy when I bought manta's old girl. absolute minter she was!

the build stinks of class.. but that camber is rubbish! needs to go up 20mm just to make it slightly driveable
