Afternoon everyone, I haven't posted my MG on here yet so I thought I would do a write up from when I got her to now.
Having owned a few rovers in the past they are not the best made car but i always had a soft spot for the new shape zs I managed to find one at Christmas, Nice low miles 120 but with the 180 kit, Wish I had got the 180 now but I use it as a work car so petrol is key.
Anyway on with the pictures.
Here is when I first picked her up pictures from the ad
I went about getting some new little bits a pieces
New washer jets the MG ones are really bad so a set of mist ones
New wipers
Also had some of the rear carpet in the boot hanging so picked up some new clips

New front badge

Scuffs all compete it was time to sort out the saggy rear bumper thiunk this is a common issue for the ZS so
Here it is before
Bumper off
Clips modified
While waiting for help to get the bumper back on i took some metal polish to the exhaust
Before
After
Help arrived bumper back on
Afters
After sorting out the bumper i came across a set of the 180 calipers and carriers on ebay managed to win this lot for ?50
All cleaned up and painted
New bolts for the disks
Decided on new disks and pads so got these quite smart black disks
And fitted
While the wheels were off i decided to give them a clean on the insides
Megs wheel brightner iron x and tardis was used
Iron x at work
Tardis for the remain spots
And clean
They wont stay like this but makes future cleaning a bit easier
This weekend i thought i would try and get the car cleaned properly on the outside its been through a few hard car washes and was looking very dull. So
After a quick sort out of my garage few pics
I got cracking
Badges cleaned and side vents Megs apc and elite brushes
Rinsed over then tardis and iron x
Iron x at work hard to see on red
Foamed off
Clay time when i first got the car it had been in storage for a while so the paint was really rough i knew it was going to be a long task just claying. New clay bar
This was the result after doing the top of the boot
about 2 hours later i had a lovely smooth car. Dried and ready for polish
Megs G220 with final finish on a finishing pad seemed to give enough correction so opted for that combo.
Result after 1 pass on the boot
A few particular bits i knew i would have to step up the pad polish combo

Not may other pics of the polishing i just wanted to crack on and not keep stopping. Its not 100% but its a good lot of the swirls out the roof could do with another going over but I was getting tired
Once finished the correction stage I topped off with a coat of this
Still had some sunlight left so here are the afters hope you enjoyed this comments good and bad welcome.
And last one when I got home
