2.6 Z157 with 'grainy' black leather - going in the BIN in a few days
« on: 31 October 2016, 08:56:14 »
As above. Went to see a broken 2.6 2003 CDX at the weekend. Only discovered the rarities about it when I arrived.

-Z157 - Front OS wing has a dent in the top, back doors have been covered in filler and resprayed, boot, bonnet, front doors, front bumper are all (I think) good
-MV6 / 7 spoke alloys. The 17" ones that are fairly rare - heavily kerbed, two tyres good, two poor
-black leather interior. (being CDX it's not full electric) but in the fairly sought-after 'grainy' leather.


Not really practical for me to get back out there to strip bits, If I bring home any more car parts that aren't even mine, but what I've got for an OOFer I think MIss DBG will understandably chop something off as I sleep.  :D

If you're interested in anything let me know, I'll get in touch with the bloke, see if it can be stripped before it goes to become a chinese washing machine.


It's going ''End of the week at the latest'', so realistically over the next couple of days.  :y

Cdx wheels are 16" 7 spoke...

Mv6 are 17" 10 spoke Irmscher (mfl), dished 5 spoke (early facelift), 6 spoke Elite (late facelift).

Anything else is either Euroland or Vectra C :-X

It's these ones.... 6 spoke, not 7, then. I wasn't really counting spokes....

Pretty sure they were also used on late MV6s, but all well perhaps not :)

Point being - those alloys pictured are on it.  :y

Yes correct, very last ones were shared between MV6 and Elite, but DG already said that - Mv6 are 17" 10 spoke Irmscher (mfl), dished 5 spoke (early facelift), 6 spoke Elite (late facelift).

Keep up at the back.  ;)

Well.. trying to bring this back on topic... no-one interested, then? Thought there were a couple on here after Z157 panels and the late leather etc. I got all that was useful to me off it, anyway.  :)   I'll tell him sling it to the scrap man :y
