nae bother mate watch the fit of pattern parts as the bonnet i got for my ZR wasn't the greatest tbh, most wouldn't notice I suppose but I knew it was there lol All mod cons for Tanyas motor eh lol, getting mair stuff than your zs hehe

Compared to the zs they aint really a great deal worse, a lot of it is down to previous owners, i used to clean that parts of the wings whenever i had the bumper aff so never had rust there at all, but had tiny bit where sideskirts met as i said and on leading edge of door where the rubber johnny for door loom chafes.

Oh an like the zs check the roof guttering and round windscreen seal

well been a busy few weeks, ive
rebuilt the engine,
fitted the new interior,
had the full front end off
fitted new crash bar
fitted a new bonnet release cable
new aerial base
fitted koni springs and shocks
two track rod ends
2 new headlights
full set of brake pipes,
new tank straps
had the wheels powdercoated
wired up central locking for the passenger door and boot
new radiator
new set of speakers
fitted fog lights and painted the bezels black
black indicators and side repeators
