That's amazing Colin, looks like it's just rolled out of the factory! Right, I've been shamed into going out to the car.......

All I would say, is that please don't be tempted to go down the "over-restored" route of polishing things like air-con pipes, engine mounts (and alternators on V6's) as they didn't have that finish on them, when they left the factory!

I wont mate dont worry i want it to look like the day it left the factory and nothing more. I dont like the look of over restored i like the cared for natural look. The black scuttle panel has rust bits on it once they sorted and painted satin black job done.

Why settle for "factory finish" when you can get so much "bling" for free? Just my opinion of course. Cliff

Nice engine bay. Everyone is different but i bet you dont see many 75 ZT,s with dirty oily engines and engine bays.
