Looking good so far but I cant help but wonder why you didnt just buy a ZS in the first place. Cool project either way though.

Ads do you remember when markus250 off ZSC when he did his 45/ZS conversion he found there were 2 or 3 different types of clocks for the ZS120 something to do with the wiring on the back

Yeah, I do mate, been re-reading the thread. Sods law, eh! Still, all part of the fun...

Passed the MoT today, just one advisory on the front brake calliper, advised it was a tad sticky and to sort it. Well chuffed-all but two years off the road and it went straight through.

Now got it home:

Have you been talking to my wife?

Bit more progress, headed off to a scrappy today, told me they had some 45s in and that carpets out of one would cost me ?10+ VAT. Happy with that I headed off, when I got there I found one 45:




I was going to take the passenger rear door (mine has a slight dent in it, and there is some rust starting to show where it's paint has cracked) but this one was just as bad, annoyingly. It also had the same parking scrape as my front bumper. Oh well. Took this after I got the carpets out, which was quite straight forward. Only awkward bit was the switchgear for the tailgate and fuel filler, neither wanted to budge, but I got there in the end!



New seats, new carpets...



Really pleased with how it all went it, the car looks much better inside now IMO.

Carpet cost ?10 +VAT, but I found almost a fiver in change in the scrap car!

I've done a bit of Project Drive on the car and left the 'Rover' chrome treadplates off, and just put the plastic back, mkII style so its a bit cleaner, happy with that, too.

Also, I think I maybe losing my mind, but I am warming to the cream door cards! The wood needs to go, but I think the cream adds a bit of light to it, what if it they were copperleaf too? Hmm...
