I can see why you like your mushbox, I couldn't be bothered commuting on that road each day,

Never mind, it'll soon not have an UBP to worry about

Brian

you could have picked up this ECU I keep forgetting to post to you as well...

I had a virgin in the boot for you Pete, but I would have then had to explain a detour to March to SWMBO.......never mind the virgin

Fitted a new straight coolant pipe as mine was leaking ,key hole method i think my arms have a grown since last time, but hey presto no leaks anymore...

I want to Dreadnought Garage today who were hosting a Technical Day with Brain and Clare Luti speaking about the ZT. Their knowledge on MGR is mind boggling.

See the familiar ZT V8 lurking on the ramp?

Wheel nuts wire brushed and rust converter applied.

With silver paint

I might actually prefer the black ones... might have to do another set and compare in action

Looking good there Mat.
It's the smallest of touches like this that really finish off an already tidy car you have.

Today I've been laid in my boot with a torch looking for an elusive leak and found it

It was the boot hinges, all sealed now.

Then, after crudely cutting my carpet out a month or so ago, I've just removed seats, centre console and remaining scraps of carpet to get it ready for new carpet tomorrow.

Looking forward to a quieter car

Enjoyed a working heater after replacing the stat on Friday :-)

Fitted new rear discs and pads, rust proofed and painted the back plate, fitted some ambient lighting and repaired a couple of tears in seats made by previous owners dog.

Got the car running tonight after work, convinced the crank pulley is noisy again, quietens down when the revs are lifted. Corteco pulley fitted about 14 months / 7,000 miles ago

Need to use it for a few days but it was too dark to swap cars around, maybe tomorrow.
