For Sale My Nearly Finished Mac#1 ZR
orbital - 1/2/09 at 01:45 PM

Well here goes. Here for sale is my 99% finished Mac#1 ZR. I want to start by saying that I won’t give the normal “I don’t have time” or “new baby has meant” or even the old “due to work commitments”. In all honestly I’ve got bored. I know in these hallowed halls that’s tantamount to heresy, but it’s the truth. With the cut off date to SVA looming I thought I’d give a better man (kit car wise &#61514 a chance to finish the car and get it on the road. Because it really deserves it.

As some of the older members on this forum will know I bought the car off here about three years ago. In those three years (and don’t laugh) I’ve put the seats in, done a carbon fibre rear boot cover, installed a new stainless steel fuel tank (one of Weldermans very own) and also redone the dash using a nice Carbon Mods chunk of carbon fibre.

To finish (and thanks to Steve H for coming round last week and helping me identify what needs doing).

A proper tune (it idles a bit rough at the moment)

The suspension and geometry need sorting out
The odd nut cap and edge trim here and there

The front indicators need to be longer

The exhaust header could do with a paint

Exhaust might need fiddling with as it may be a bit loud for SVA

I can’t get the rear fog to work

Steering column shroud needs fettling to fit

The Alloy Fabrication battery holder needs fixing in

For the majority of the member on here I’d say that was all easy stuff.

It’s a standard 2.0 litre Pinto engine (1988). Loads of new parts have been used and I have bulging folder with all the receipts/information from the original owner and ones from myself. I also have nearly 800 pictures detailing the original build.

I don’t expect to make any money of the car, I just want to try and get back what I paid for it including at least a bit for items I’ve bought, so I was looking in the region of £3,750. If anyone has any questions I’ll do my best to answer them.

Cheers

Dave














P.S. I wont be around the rest of today as I have to go out, but I'll be sure to answer any u2u's etc as soon as I get back

I know mate, but I think I've lost the urge for the whole thing if I'm honest. Just don't want it in the garage gathering dust and slowly being worth less and less.

Cheers

My god, if I lived in the UK. Mine has a more powerful engine, but won't look that good when done, and I have 15,000 quid into mine (fifteen thousand pounds in your money). You'll have it sold very quickly and your garage can go back to a golf club/bicycle/lawn mower, garden tools storage like everyone else.

Shame i havent got that money
Thats hell of a bargain...


roadrunner - 1/2/09 at 07:26 PM

You must be crackers, to be so close to finishing and not to see it through.
What a bargain for some one else though.
If i where you i would look for some encouragement from somewhere, that is a nice car mate.


handyandy - 1/2/09 at 07:57 PM

stunning car, don,t sell it, get some knowledgable & enthusiastic mates to help you get it finished, i think you could have it finished in a week or so.

I can't believe your serious man. Still it's up to you I suppose. VERY nice car go on finish it.


roadrunner - 1/2/09 at 08:21 PM

You will be sorry if you let it go, one of the best things is when you are out driving with the other 7 lads ,its a proper blast, KEEP IT PLEASE.


Angus180 - 1/2/09 at 08:45 PM

lovely car, what bhp would it be around 100? and 550kg??


orbital - 1/2/09 at 10:07 PM

Cheers lads, I know I'm daft I really do, but like I said the love's gone! It was a realisation over the past week that I just want to return to a normal life and not feel guilty for not spending every free hour in the garage. I feel like I'm letting you all down, but them's is the facts as it were

Gary, cheers for your help over the last few months mate I really do appreciate it.

Angus 180, those figures sound about right.

Cheers

Dave
