My MG ZS repair diary....Repaired.
 
http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=15276

Following on from this thread I had the car delivered on Friday, looks as good as the pics really.
Started 1st time...sweet, clutch feels good too.

Mk1 straights,:D
Full stainless steel exhaust,:D
Unknown cone filter,
Aftermarket short red aerial,
Kenwood Disc changer with disc holder missing.
Dog hairs on all the seats.

This is how it looked before I stripped the front end.

Time to break out my 3 part jigging tool.
1 R400D,
1 tow rope,
1 wife to drive the R400D.....sorry no pics of the wife.

The front bumper will be repaired as the main curvature is still intact.
Things I need,
Bonnet,
O/S headlight,
front bumper bar,
Radiator with AC and twin fans,
OEM rear lights or swap for the Lexus style ones.

I used a very similar tool to "Jig" a Rover 25... although it was a Yellow rope, an MG ZS180 and a friend driving :D:D

Love the jig tool:D Look forward to seeing the end result of your labours with this:)

Think if my wife was the jig, I'd end up with a foot longer ZS and no rear on the R400D. :D:D:D

Hope it all comes out OK, have a great car when its finished.
