Following on from my previous ZX thread which ended abruptly on a slippery roundabout with a Sill+post interface, the search was on for a replacement shell, 6 months on I found a Silver 16v on a K plate which was being broken for spares, ended up getting this for free!
No pics as yet as it was Dark when I first saw the car, my friend AdamB did the road trip with his P2 Volvo V70 T5 spitting flames and using lots of fuel at the moment its parked up at Goliath's in Gloucester as I haven't space here in the valleys.
Also had good news last Wednesday in that the insurance claim against the Micra driver that took out the offside front corner by turning right across me has finally been settled in full, 18 months on!! I think I will be getting around £900 all in, which isn't bad.
Had a spare hour this afternoon after work, so dug out some bits I have collected recently, and took some pics of just how much space there is up front in a ZX, and weighing up whether I will use the cut down inlet I bought, or cut another one I have spare and make it even longer....
As it was before taking it apart
Space between bumper and fans, rad and fan cowling removed, epic amount of space...
Inlet stripped off....
BWARP....
stuck the bonnet down and tried to get a pic of how much vertical space I have to play with
enough to get a filter on easily! but looks like I have a ton of space to get more length....
