My turn to save a few

Picked up a bit of a buy one get one free this morning, a guy at work had two cars he wanted rid of and only wanted what they are worth as scrap! Both are out of mot, they need varying amounts of work not to mention a good wash inside and out

The zs is a 180, and is in reasonable order apart from a grotty interior and a couple of bushes potentially need replacing as noted on its previous mot. Should scrub up well and I'm told they are quite nippy!

The zt-t is a 190 and is quite an odd spec. It's a 54 plate mk1, has got things like message centre, rain sensing wipers and parking sensors, but is missing cruise, heated seats etc. This is a little rougher externally and also needs a good valet. It's engine isn't particularly heathy either. It has suffered a couple of overheats and although it's apparently had a lot of money spent on its cooling system but straight away there's a swimming pool in the vee and the expansion cap isn't stopping any water coming out so those are the first things to address. Hopefully it doesn't need a headgasket but time will tell.

Really happy with the purchases and looking forward to sorting them!
