If your parents refuse the Fazer and you aren't willing to undermine their decision, which is fair enough, then I would seriously considering just replacing the 106 with something cheap. There are plenty of £500~ cars (or cheaper) available that will likely cost no more on insurance which you can just swap around. With scrapping the 106 you will likely reduce this cost and still be able to have transport and continue work on the Fazer.
Of all your options, it's probably the one I'd opt for if I were in your position. Hell, I sold my 106 in working order for £200 - all it potentially needed was a new CV Joint which I let the guy know
The Fazer may be your goal, but I don't think now is the right time. You may be able to afford to return it to stock and get it road worthy, but what about tax and insurance? You couldn't afford to insure the 600 before, that's why you ended up with the ZX4, so what's changed now? If anything it seems you have less money...
Hell, here is a Nissan Micra for £300 in your area... its not glamorous, its not masculine, BUT it will do the job you want it to for very little cost. Insurance should be cheap as well because no one your age wants one
