1995 citroen zx volcane td

[danhrc]

Just became a member after looking on site for a long time

First time i have ever did a thread but here it goes

After finishing my accord type r and selling it i was looking for my next project i had a zx volcane some years ago and loved it any how none were ever for sale while i was looking so messing about on ebay late at night as we all do i found one

Its a 95 mk1 3dr volcane td only 4 owners loads of history but looking abit sorry for its self next day called the seller made a deal and traveled 330miles to collect it drove all the way back to newcastle with no issues other than a slighly slippy clutch (already awear of this when buying)

Now its not with out its problems but nothing that cant be sorted (handy being in the motor trade)

I have a few plans for this and some bits to source but it on hold for a bit untill i sell my bmw as need the space

Sorry for the long intro also how do i get pics on so yous can all see and comment ect cheers dan

Was that the silver one? First one I've seen for sale in ages. My mates dad had a black petrol volcane around 2001, gave us a lift in it somewhere once and scared the hell out of us felt so quick. Very underrated car.

[danhrc]

Aye it is fella seller had sold it but he damaged it and sale was a no go so i got it cheap as chips i will say

That looks great. Perfect spec as well being a Volcane TD. Looking forward to seeing what you do.

I'd a silver 5 door and a metallic black 3 door volcane back in the day. Stunning motors. That looks like a cracker.

[danhrc]

They are good cars on the way back made me feel like i was 19 which is when a last had a volcane its very clean no rust issues on the inner wings ect

Altho the big plans are on hold untill i sell my bmw i couldnt help but buy a set of 205/309 gti wheels i will get these refurbed when it goes in my mates shop for paint work ect

Any 1 know the best place or person thatbcould help locate a remote fob for locking and the control unit ebay has turned up nothing as of yet ?

[danhrc]

So bmw gone freed up some space so a can work on this volcane bodywork booked it for next week to tidy it up as well as a set of 205 gti wheels. Replaced clutch( 3 part velo kit) inc clutch fork adjusted hand brake as was terrible replaced front ball joints and rocket gasket not bad for £250

Plan for weekend wet vac all the interior and a dam good clean al get some before and after photos up on here

So it coming on alrigh so far

Interior and dash reminds me a LOT of an EF Civic.

looks a goodun don't see many about now have had two zx estates both great cars both diesels but best one i had was a 2 door zx 16 valver lovely car took me ages to find it without travelling a billion miles for one,ended up selling her as she had rust in the top inner rear wing in the area between the rear side window and the hatch worth checking out before spending loads of money as its a hidden area have to take the rear inner plastics off which is a bit of a hassle wish id kept her now as ive never seen another since then but some we win and some we loose haha!think ive lost more than ive won tho!

[danhrc]

Lol that does look like a smilar interior cant beat a bit 90s styling lol and the zx 16vs are really good thats what a was looking for at same time but they never come up for sale a don't mind a bit travling to save something i will have a look at rear arches when you say plastic trims you mean the wheel arch liners
The interior is comming on took 3hrs but the diffrence is quite good al get some pics up

It back at my mates garage as clutch cable snapped so new one ordered and getting fitted today

[danhrc]

Small delay in progress as clutch cable snapped the clip at the pedal end ordered new cable then clip from citroen took 4days to get here all fitted and fine again goes quite well for a 22yr old diesel stright to my mates bodyshop for paint work so should be back next weekish sorry for lack of photos will get them all up as soon as it back form paint with how it was and how it is fingers crossed you all like how it has moved on

[vitessetony]

Can't wait to see it, I must admit I've been browsing for one since you started this thread, I'd forgotten how brilliant these little cars are.

Thanks for the update keep them coming!

[danhrc]

Well the zx is nearly ready has had quite a bit of work + repairs due to age and mileage should look totaly diffrent only panels not painted are roof tailgate and off side rear 1/4 altho have been polished also recovered the red stripes with vinyl all be ready to collect and get some pictures on here on wens due to work

Still have a few things to do once i get it back sort central locking out has had aftermarket kit fitted but is not there will order one and have a go and find replacement steering wheel as leather has hole in it then on to improveing it work out what colour to paint gti wheels

Fit boost gauge improve suspension and enjoy then be on to the next project i would think keep this as a daily

Sorry for long update and lack of pictures but hopefully all worth it butnlet you be the judge

[danhrc]

Quick update as there has been a slight delay in getting car back as i have now had the roof done and the front bumper getting re done as mate was not happy as they missed a few chips he likes things done right will get finished photos up on friday all finished cleaned and with sone new red stripes but for now a little teaser
