Finally in the game….

Post by H4rty82 » Sat May 13, 2023 5:13 pm

Hi everyone from Hertfordshire.

After over a year of lurking and trying to find the right Zed, I’m finally the owner of an E85 3.0 roadster! Picked her up from a member on here @ibasniper last week and it’s been smiles all the way.

Gave her a good clean today in the hope of sunny weather (I swear it’s rained every day since purchase!). Paint chip repair and some sticky steering to get sorted but apart from that she may well be perfect. Gary was incredibly helpful and insightful, a perfect handover.

Photos because why the heck not!

Looks tip top fella. Some tasteful mods including the exhaust tips and strut brace.
:thumbsup:

BUT

It's screaming out for some spacers on the rears!
Get some 15mm or 20mm jobbies on there for a perfect stance at the back.
Chop chop!

I nearly gave up so many times and was prepared to settle for less than I wanted. Pleased I didn’t.
