My Zed's heavy when I'm sat in it She don't need to lose weight I DO!

Hello and Welcom Good luck finding the right car at the right price

Hello and Welcome I would say Neil is giving you good advice, If you want quick 0-60 times the Zed is a heavy beast to get moving! If you want speed it can be done but as they say "Speed costs how fast do you want to go?"

Hello and Welcome

Thanks mate - look forward to hearing from you. If you have anything else intresting like the wheels please do let me know

+1 Plans or not the mods are coming Resistance is Futile!!

Feels so good being bad !! and Cause I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it Never thought about it as "my cars song" but Steady left a CD in the Zed and this was the first song it played when I got her all legal and took her for a run out. so it always reminds me....... maybe I'm just wierd

Hello and welcome

Hello and Welcome

SHE LIVES!!!! Or How to start a Zed that's been in a garage for 6 years - (Ok update would have been sooner but Photobucket had a funny five on me) Buster arrived just as we got back from dropping the trailer back to its owner which gave us (myself, Buster, my good lady wife Kim and even my eldest daughter) the extra push to go out in the rain and see if she would start. Temporary shelter erected (look familiar Ian?) Quick investigation showed no spark, the distributor cap was badly corroded as were some of the plug leads cleaned them all up put a fresh gallon of super in the tank and after some very knowledgeable wiggling of wires she sprang into life. She ticks over very sweetly and with a custom made stainless exhaust has a quite pleasant sound, the only problem is she will not rev cleanly you have to tease the throttle open. Changed the plugs etc (well my daughter did ) No improvement - I think I have tracked the problem to the vacuum advance retard which is not advancing in fact it's not doing anything so will need some new bits. Clutch master cylinder was full of some sludge so I stripped it all the way down and cleaned it, it now works (after a fashion) but will need replacing. This does however mean she drives and is moveable so that's a big plus. The brakes will need some serious attention before she sees a road but after 6 years that's to be expected. The all important photos as requested (not a kitchen in sight ) First the car - The worst of the rust - Daughter changing the plugs - Offending Dizzy and the carbs - Interior - OK Over to you guys now for some input - What shall we do with her? We really can't decide which way to go! Assuming the rust is not to bad underneath, Buster think it will be OK the last owner did say he thought it was went fairly "deep" in the floor pan behind the driver's seat won't know for sure until she is stripped and that won't happen until I get my garage built but we will put her in for MOT soon and see what she fails on. You should also take into account it's not mine anymore - the wife likes it. Options - 1. Just a reasonable stock restore. 2. Track toy for Kim (my wife). 3. Rally sport restore and enter some classic car events. 4. Open to any suggestions at this point ideas please. P.S Buster - welcome anytime mate Ace -don't suppose you have a clutch master and/or slave cylinder? Also brake servo may need replacing. Captain - no chance mate Keyser

They look stunning Very nice indeed!

+1, sod the kitchen! give me a chance! OK had a few problems with photo bucket so had to do some re-organising Will post up the pics after I have finished sorting it out and got them uploaded.

You thinks this is a money pit??? You should see my house !!!!!! O and I didn't buy it I rescued her edit Sorry Album deleted to make space for CAR PIC's so this post no longer made sense.

Sorry to see that mate. Glad you are OK Hope it all gets fixes quick
