Hi,decided to sort out the sticking bonnet latches on the ZT yesterday after several attempts for them to work freely,seems it had been a long term problem as the previous owners had dented the front of the bonnet previously.Head lights needed polishing anyway.Bumper off,slam panel off yesterday, couple of hours wasted due to some bolts needed drilling out.Today decided to take the radiator fan assembly off as it is the 3 speed,was not activating so thought I'd check the brushes.Had to drill the 3 torx screws out holding the shroud to the motor that's as far as I got.So far a day's work turned into two.Hopefully the tangs holding the cover on the motor will not give me too much grief tomorrow.Now feeling my age with aches and pains.Cider over the weekend should help!
Regards Ry......
