When I rescued her I out 4 new Yokohama tyres on, new radiator, brake hoses, front shocks and loads of other bits. Passed its MOT with no advisories. Has a slightly clicky CV joint, I have a new shaft but it's too cold to go out and fit it. I'd like a grand for it as it's a lovely car and totally rust free.

Might you get a bit more for it than that at the mo? I've just payed 700 for a 405 with double the mileage and it's got a fucked sunroof and headlining. I know ZX's are a bit of a niche car to some but others always seem to remember them very fondly indeed as they are a cracking car/workhorse.

One estate on Ebay sold items but went for nearly 2k with 29 bids. That's been welded, has paint blistering and was 160K but it is a turbo model. :shock:

Took this a spin around a car park. Nice old barge.

Needs the brakes going over, tyres and some carb seals and it'll be ready for summer motoring.

Oh I say, rebuilt from the doors down? Or was it not really that bad? What is the next project in line?

Tis indeed 320Touring's, formerly FriedOnion's.

It's had new sills/floors for a couple of years now but has never quite managed to climb to the top of the priority list for an actual return to the road.

The passenger side door does have a habit of popping open...

Likely a dodgy return action on the cam. Mrs Rocker has nearly fallen out of mine once.

Investigated the sunroof rot on the cx as I'm bored. Took the headliner out and got showered in rust. All looks repairable thankfully. Waiting for a mate to come round at the weekend to help drop the sunroof cassette out.

That looks pretty severe. I am looking on my phone minus gepps.
