My ZT 190 is nearly ready

Rovering · 27th November 2017, 22:21

After months off the road, having the motor rebuilt due to a low oil level killing a big end bearing or two......my ZT190 is getting closer to being up and running again.
Dropped off a thermostat kit to it yesterday, I have two metal thermostat housing kits, from Kaiser in South Africa, and I put them away safely, and you guessed it, now I can’t find them. So unfortunately I am having to use one of the plastic original style versions.
I really wanted to put one of the metal units in the ZT, but it looks like it will have to wait now.
Dreading the bill for all the work, is going to be more than I paid for the car, but they are very unique over here.
