Good to hear you are back at it Lori!
-
It might piss me off from time to time bud, but hell.. I want this fucker finished.
PM me your address bud.
-
Maybe just get it driveable & legal at first, as there is no such thing as finished in the car modding world :lol: :P
-
It will be drivable before Christmas, won't be legal (nor see a road I should add) till afterwards.
Most of the parts (except the MS spoiler) are replacement parts for ones that are broken or easier to fit with it in it's current state.The MS spoiler was £50.. couldn't pass that up.
-
Sounds positive Bro. Nice score on that MS piece too!
-
50 quid? Mother of God, some bargain!

50 quid? Mother of God, some bargain!
Hell yeah.
That means that in my garden, I now have every official spoiler they ever made for the MX.
Wraparound.

4 - Bolt exhaust on and clamp end can on. - DONE
5 - Route the oil catch can into the air intake pipe. - 50% DONESmaller jobs:
1 - Remove the center console and attach the short shifter on (right this time) - TODO
2 - Swap the HAVC controls over to the AC ones. - JOB SCRAPPEDWould have got to a point I could turn her over today but rain ended play…. Bloody British weather.
DJ = Fooking legend!

Great news Lori, light at the end of the tunnel!
-
Legend! Sounds as if it's all gone well and ready to fire up soon!
-
& here she blows.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
The 02 Sensors aren't wired in yet, nor was the rad fans.
The smoke at the back was the EGR out on the rear down pipes not blanked off yet..
-
another ZE on the road soon :respect:
-
Yup! Won't see the roads until the new year, around Easter I'd guess but at least I can spin it around the car park until then.
Few small things to fix and sort but nothing major. Rad fans first, so I can leave it running for a while and heat up the shell.
-
Proud of ya man! :cheers:
-
Get her running good and come to nurburgring with me and 30 other modded cars in july :)
-
Well done Bud, good 'ol perceiverance kicked in yo!
-
Gave the video a like, good to get the motor working :)
Out of interest, what kind of money do the ze's change hands for?
-
Around £500 would be a good guess.
I've had two for around that price now, cheaper to buy them in a car thou.
-
2nd hand I'd say from 150-400 depending on condition factoring in the need for re build and parts changing. ( belts pumps gaskets etc )
800-1000 for a low mileage import engine or a built motor. Aka jays
-
Ah OK, not bad then as long as you don't get a munter.
What do you recon a mot'd runner would set you back, say stock with transplant?
