It's finally time!!

I've been posting the last few weeks with questions in various bits of the forum in anticipation of picking my Zed up today....
Here she is, a 2004 3.0i Manual. 90k miles.

I've done nearly 100 miles today, most of which driving the car back from Epsom. She's in pretty good condition, dealer did some paint on both bumpers and they look perfect. Just need to have a go at the headlights and then work on the interior.

To do list;
  • Headlights polish

    Proper detail of outside

    108's refurb (way down the line)

    Wrap some of the interior, drivers door bar thing inside is pealing, may as well do that and other bits.

    Add cup holders

    Change radio

    Reconditioning of leather seats.

    Diff and gearbox fluid change
More pics soon when it's not boiling!!

Welcome to the forum. I bet you're enjoying the power of that 3.0l, must feel like a beast compared to a Corsa! Haha
