240zphilly Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Picked this up for a song here locally... Saved it from rotting under a tree any longer. Been parked since 07. 82 Turbo 5-spd with tan interior. Currently has an FMU and an aftermarket rail with a relatively small intercooler. Of course ill keep my HbZ family updated with progress as the money comes in every 1st and 15th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zphilly Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Here's a quick before and after of the interior. If not this weekend, then definitely next weekend I will refurbish the turbo wheels and post pics...

240zphilly Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) The interior is far from complete, but with the dash in and a cheap shift knob that isn't falling apart, it feels like a real car.

AkiraZX Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Nice acquisition. I'll be looking for a turbo donor for my NA ZX one day soon. Then again, I haven't decided how I want to proceed as far as future powerplant. As always, glad to see another ZX saved. I've been lurking here long enough to know that we need some more S130 love in this world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I had that same color. My kids called it orange. I still don't know what color to call it. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zphilly Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 I affectionately refer to it as "doo-doo" brown, and thanks everyone for the compliments.... Traveling around this part of Colorado between 6-8K ft elevation certainly takes a bit of the fun out of the car, so more power is in store.

slownrusty Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Nice find good to see another ZX going on the road! Agreed. I saved mine from a alley in downtown Denver almost 11 years ago and this car is certainly part of me. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I had that same color. My kids called it orange. I still don't know what color to call it. Nice find. Yea, that's like 70% of S130's out there. I had a Gold one that everyone called brown, and now I have one that's defintely like a merlot purple and people call it brown too.... I don't blame them though because it took me a week to decide to call it merlot. I don`t think so! Its one of my parts car. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Dude! Give that a couple more years and you'll be able to pull that left tail light without tools! And I'm always thankful the S130 doesn't have as many rust issues as the S30..... Dang.

I`ll tell you more about it`s condition.This ZX was given to me FREE.The owner wanted it out of his yard...NO PROBLEM,i can do that! The car caved in from the rusted out frame rails and floors. I`m just waiting for the whole car to rot away. I look at it this way,NO NEED OF A ENGINE HOIST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
