My first project! So i've started off small (and i mean small lol)

The pesky 1.0 motor isn't running, and the car has been chavved up - but i only paid 10% of what its worth - so lets crack on with the project!



Erm not much to say on it really, my dad did tell me it was a 1.2 and it turned out to be a 1.0 frown Can't believe how small the lump is lol!

Its a poverty spec comfort model - but has electric windows and mirrors yes

The interior is minging and needs work - except from that just one slight problem

The engine doesn't run - will hopefully find out why this weekend smile

Time for pics:





So to conclude:
TO DO:

[LIST]
[*]Replace Rear Bumper
[*]Find out whats up with the lump
[*]Replace interior
[*]Find a CD player
[*]SXi Rear lights
[*]de rubstrip/colour code handles
[*]Possibly facelift bumper
[/LIST]
The car came with:

[LIST]
[*]Smoothed Boot
[*]Alloys (unsure on make, maybe TSW)
[*]Exhaust
[*]Tints
[*]No CD player (lol)
[/LIST]


Need to decide whether the full cars getting split or fixed yet!

What you lot think? Any common faults on the Z10XE to look out for?

Cheers
Dan

There is nothing wrong with the engine.

Just the 1.0 is so small it doesnt actually move the car wink

Nice car for a starter.
