Applied yet another liberal dosing of plus-gas in preparation for removal of the ns front strut, as the os one was an absolute pig. I'm not holding my breath though.

Hi Jason, Like the others said a car hit me at a 4-way stop intersection. He hit the front of the ZT doing in excess of 120kph. Everything in front of the engine was gone down the road. No injuries for me other than being in shock for a couple of days. Turns out the perp was running from the police following a drug bust. Within a minute of the collision 4 cars from the Major Crimes Squad arrived on scene, rifles out, dogs out. The guy had made a run for it and was tackled by a bystander who held him in a headlock for the Mounties.
Luckily I got a reasonable insurance settlement and sold my MGF for a decent price so I have bought a LHD ZT-T from Germany. The car should be here by this time next week and in the meantime I am stripping what I want from the ZT before the remains go to my mate Jess to act as a donor for my ZT-T and his two 75's. Today the seats came out along with the instrument cluster, the lighting unit and some other bits and pieces.
Fun and games!

Today I restored my headlight lenses. I used a kit from ebay which was £11 and it took about an hour to do using a cordless drill. Before/after. Although in the "before" photo it looks better than it actually was because of being wet with rain.

Sorted out the A/C on my ZT.
Replaced the condenser and switch and new o ring seals.
Brought all the necessary items to vacuum out all the air and refill with the correct gas and oil,now i have a chilled ZT.
I attached the vacuum pump and gauges to the A/C system and let it run for 1 1/2 hours.switched it off and left it for another 1 1/2 hours to see if it held vacuum,which it did.Then i disconnected the pump and attached the A/C oil then gas and refilled the system.

After 3.5 years on sorn,locked up in my garage and passing a recent MOT,watched my Launch car getting wet from rain for the first time in all that time.Fraid it's lost its cosy home as now needed for my motorbikes.Its still having to stay on sorn though,time to let it go I think.Regards Ryszard...
