    mmarschall 3.5 zeds in sheds

    Hi Everyone,
    As some of you may have read in chat i finally have a WHOLE zed... :)

    Purchased a few days ago from another forum member in brisbane.
    This was the last forsale thread (with photos from when it was a clean zed).

    A big thank you to Michael OZX_320 for picking it up and car trailering it down to me.

    Plan for the car is to bring her back into decent shape as a daily driver. Only thing that may put a real screw in the works is if the engine need replacing/head gasket etc.

    Basic info:
    1992, NA, Auto
    Pearl White
    1+1 (2 seater)

    Good stuff:
    Full velour interior,
    S2 aircon,
    Recent TT brake conversion with slotted rotors,
    Shell looks good with no rust or signs of a past crash,
    Pod filter,
    good quality speakers + touchscreen navi/headunit,
    TT front bar,
    Recent top end engine rebuild
    HID headlights fitted
    Chrome instrument rings

    update 1

    Engine testing... No bubbles just dirty radiator water. slight sound from the VCT at some RPMs sometimes. quiet at idle, startup and very healthy sound at higher RPM. no smoke and good oil pressure are a definite +.

    oh and the cowels are beyond help. :)

    Chrispy- The pics used in the for sale advert are 1 year or so old.
