|Winter 2019
After last month’s mechanical woes, we’ve finally finished our MG ZS project car. Here’s our final instalment, followed by an all-new project
Last month, we had to deal with some fairly intensive mechanical surgery after learning the head gasket on our Project ZS was on the way out, so with our £500 budget already blown, we had our work cut out to finish the car off for as little expense as possible.
This wasn’t helped by the fact that on the morning of our final push, an impatient motorist squeezed through a gap that didn’t exist and wiped out the driver’s door mirror, so workshop job number one wasn’t even on our to-do list.
Luckily, the damage was superficial and we were able to clip the mirror back together, with only a spot of polish needed to remove the paint from their car off our mirror. Karma has hopefully left them with a much bigger scrape as they drove off without leaving a note.
