Nice buy, I like hardtops, it looks like the original bumper is cut down on the front (the corners) then your trim along the sill is missing, and has been chequer plated - bet it's rusty behind the chequer plate! Then your bumper corner caps are missing on your rear bumper. I don't know what the deal is with heater inlet vents ( under your windscreen) usually it's just slotted holes, yours seems to have some sort of hood over it, overall it looks pretty tidy,

To be honest it looks about standard height, I'd guess it was as it still has the anti roll bar fitted and usually it's the first thing to go

It looks lifted to me. A low angle shot from the front or back will probably tell us what kind of lift if it has one.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Looks like a nice tidy standard Zuk!

Ideal toy for laning with some decent MT tyres on it.

Well, it looks standard underneath. It just looked to be riding a bit high to me.

Decent new springs or possibly 1" or 2" lift springs?

The rears do seem to show quite a bit of curve still.
