As can Big Russ, who I suspect would be considerably more local for Mike to have the job done

I changed the wife's facelift to amber illumination while retaining the facelift dials, and it looks quite nice.

I own a ZT and i know 75 owners as well,its just pers choice i think ,i love my MK1 ZT Trophy Blue but others dont like it, so it is pers choice on what you want...

The main difference for me now between a Mk1 and a Mk2 is that the Mk2 is newer. This to me means there's likely to be less rust on a Mk2. Not talking about outward appearance but the things not easily seen, rear arms, inner sills etc. The Mk2 bumpers do bring it up to date a little, but some owners prefer the 'old' look.

Good point especially if it has not been under sealed.But unlike mine no rust yet but im sure it will appear some day

My Mk1 had spent its life in a heated garage but still needed the jacking points welded when I got it!

I hate to think what it would have been like if outside. The upturned edges of the jacking points seemed to encourage standing water inside the sill. I had them reinforced and are now flush (ie no jacking point rubbers and make sure that it is jacked with a rubber covered jack, in the correct place.

Mine has all 4 jacking rubbers attached and have been jacked many times but another valid point...
