Outstanding job on the ZT...almost showroom condition!!!

Well, stripped suspension down today. Few seized bolts slowed work down a bit but all stripped in the end. Need to take both arms to a garage now to get the drum taken off one and the disc setup swapped off the bent one onto the good one. I would do it myself but bolts are way to tight and my airguns nowhere near powerful enough.

Heres a pic of the two, new and old. You can see the bush bent and the actual arm kinked....

Also got a new rear door. Theres a couple of small dents in it which need sorting but its the right colour which saved me alot of hassle...

The fooked one is well out of shape. No damage to the chassis then? Just shows how stiff the chassis actually is.

Nope, luckily the bushes are all placed perfectly and took all the impact. Everything had just twisted round on the bushes rather than damaging the bodywork, quite clever really.

A proper MG saviour. Well done that man.

Just a quick one, pretty much finished it off today with new front door and wing, just got to fit the new MG badge on the front grill then get a new numberplate. Need to give it a another good valet aswell as its been sitting on my drive a while and its filthy. MOT runs out August so im going to put 13months on it the end of this month then sell it on.
