Gollum Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Ok, new ZX came today. Needs some TLC, but the only thing i need to buy is the fuel pump and air pressure regulator. The interior isn't that great, so... i was thinking of just gutting it and driving around with seat that have seat covers on. And opinions? I figure i can fix up whatever interior is left and sell it off. If any of it is in decent shape it's worth selling. Is there any interior that i should make sure i keep on? Like the door panel maybe? The one thing i found today that really ticks me off is that it has a nice rust spot where the spare goes. It'll need to be cut out. Looks like maybe while it sata pool gathered there causeing rust, because other than that one spot the chassis look great in the rust department. So whad' yall think? Gut it, primer it, beater it? Or clean, put together, keep stock looking? The one thing i'm worried about it noise. How much does the interior carpet help the engine noise? Another question. Can i take the front bumper off without the car lookng too funny? The bumper on it had been hit by something. Didn't effect car exept some small damage in the left fender, but the bumper is pretty bad. Don't want to drive with it like it is. I'll post some pics of it all. Any thought will be appreciated. PS even though the carpet would be gone i'd have a blanet in the back probly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I think every ZX is rusted through in the spare tire area. I would keep the big insulating pad in the rear of the car beause it does provide some sound deadening, and makes the surface flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yup I also think that all of the ZX's are rusted out back there. Mine was but now that rust is gone and a new panel is welded in! I wouldnt take out too much of the interior. It gets very loud very quick. I drove my ZX last week like that(I was too lazy to put the interior back in at the time , but its back in now! ) There is no way that I could drive around like that, way too noisey. The ZX doesnt look too bad with out the front bumber but it doesnt look good either? You can tell that something is just missing when its off... Hope that helps!

Guest comeandzpa Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 ZXs really do rust there. I would also advise that you have the carpet in, I took mine out once to get some framework done and it was way louder than I'd like to deal with.
