Stamford’s ZS180

[stamford]

I will admit to being down about working on the zed. So much work to do, so much rust underneath. Being outside so long hasn’t helped. I was close to scrapping it! Today I spent time cleaning the inside and emptying out the crap I had stored in it. Tried to start it, it ran for a bit but it needs some fresh fuel. At least DMGRS now have repair sections for those jacking points. Got a plan to get a few jobs done this year and moving forward.

I always think they are worth spending the money on, buy a new high end car and you can lose £10,000 a year!! That goes a long way to buy spares and pay for the labour. Plus you have a great head turning car, just have to remember these new hybrid can have 450 bhp!! Derv is still going well. ;-)

Yeah I've been trying to get my ZS MOT'd now for a few years it seems, but the person who has it is being very reticent.

Without that I can't pick it up, and I'm worried to get it trailered down to find out it's gone too crusty to be economical to repair underneath. (it wasn't good with the time on the farm, but it has been mostly indoors this time at least).

Hope when you do take a proper look at things, it's not as bad as your fear.
