Moonshine is all mine!
Just spent a good evening in the company of Moonshine Mark! What a gent! Thanks for making me feel welcome, and letting me buy your fantastic Moonshine MG ZT 190.
My brother, Mick, did all the dirty work (had to pop the drive shaft off so we could get it on the A-frame to tow it home), but we finally got it on the road and it now sits proudly on my driveway. All three of my kids came running out to see it!! Hazard lights, indicators, horn, radio - all have been thoroughly stress tested this evening. They are now banned from touching it again. The car is truly beautiful. We haven't yet gotten to the bottom of it's issues, but we may well be sourcing a replacement engine if needed later this week. Mick will have a really good look at it in the next few days. Be assured, Mark, that this car is going to be back on the road and much loved. |

Good luck sorting the car out, I was desperate for it but the missus wouldn't let me have another and I didn't have time or space to sort it!
Hopefully it's a simple fix for you, make sure you get some pics up

What a ridiculous design fault though! 2 bolts into bottom of engine to support drive shaft!! Maybe weld up something off of the sump bracket to take the drive shafts? Anyone tried that before here?
Got a few other ideas floating around here, but will run it by you guys after sleep! |
