Damaged ZS Project No.2

[Southside_ZS]

Well now the black ones finished and for sale i treated myself to another one. Bought it off ebay and it should be delivered next week. 54 plate Mk2 ZS 120+ in starlight silver. Very minor front end damage as you can see from the pics. Just needs bonnet, grill, headlights, bumper, crash bar and rad fan. Not even touched the slam panel.

Sorry for the crap quality pics.

Strange, the top picture looks very much like it's a saloon yet the bottom picture it's clearly a hatchback ?

[stamford]

Your right!!!

Seems strange........

Was that a cat 'D' write off? Seems crazy if was. Fair play on reviving the diminighing MGs.

Right been a bit slow progress on this one lately. Been trying to build up the parts i need and been concentrating on getting the MK1 sold. Anyway started the strip down today...


All damaged parts removed apart from the bonnet which needs to stay on as its being stored outside

looks like you're well on the way dude.

is it just me or is the front slam pannel bent around the bonnet catch? Might just be the pics though

Yea it is abit mate but as you probably know they're made of very flimsy metal so should easily bend back into shape.

[Bobdope2002]

yeh it looks that way to me too

yeah nothing a swift tap with a hammer won't sort.

So are you giving it a new MK2 front end or MK1 since those are easier to get? To be honest the MK2 looks a bit weird without the 180 kit anyway

[Southside_ZS]

ooooo this is long due an update. Taking far to long this one, had other more important things to sort out. Just got the bonnet and bumper back from my mates bodyshop tonight. Will post pics the weekend. :)

[Roverman]

I've got a passenger side headlamp if you need it ?

[Southside_ZS]

Finally finished, well apart from the number plate and an MOT. Took me a while due to another project, long story but sorted in the end. :)

Good job, yet another MG saved from the scrappy.

[Maxxed_Ross]

very nice work! It looks like it just came out of the factory

I'm still not a fan of the mk2 without the bodykit though. It looks.... weird

[XPCobra]

Looks cracking, but as you said will u make any profit on it?
