Blooming heck Dave, you were not kidding about the balljoint

I have to say though, thanks to your technical input

, the biggest pinchbar I have seen used in a long time, and my brute force and ignorance approach, the black ZT is a much nicer place to be when driven on our beautifully maintained roads

What a difference a decent lower arm has made to the car, and nice for one of my own fleet to be on the receiving end of a little TLC for a change

There was no way in God's earth I would have managed that lying flat on my back on the drive

1. I found water around expansion tank.

Oh no hope its simple mate....

No rest for the wicked just done this for the neighbor...

today (after not receiving any requests for the use of my lift

)
my yr 13 & then yr 10 lads helped me do this, kinda sad, but the grim reality is its worth more in parts & if it helps keep a few others on the road, well it didnt die in vain

by the way Brian, i'm suprised you havent mentioned the red stripe overspray on the stool in the left of your pic, firefrost that is, i'm sure, did a metro cabby in it for my ex boss 3 years ago!

Fitted a smiley plate ,cleaned all the chrome .mirrors are gleaming fitted chrome G B letters

been struggling reinstalling the entire interior including headlining into the Duotone tourer following drying out and leak elimination.

Worst bit was the centre console! Did not want to go in (and probably there is an obvious trick). I ended up taking the handbrake off.

Fitted wood dash too which looks grand!!
