And today, all back together including shampooing the seats and the replaced carpets.

Well I didn't have time to update this earlier as I had to dash off to a job, 12 months ticket without a single advisory

Just goes to show what a little pre MOT preparation can do, all four weeks of it

After driving the ZT for a couple of months, the Tourer was a revelation in smooth refined quietness

And then I got into my 214 which has stood idle for nine weeks, turned the key and drove it around the block.

A car where the door cards don't fall off or rattle, and the sill trims are attached to the sills, and has every original suspension component, bar one track rod end that it came out of the factory with.

Not bad for an eighteen year old car with close to 390,000 miles on the clock

I'm planning on a light rolling restoration, and returning it back to service as my daily driver......ZT diesel anyone
