Default First Post in a while

I've not posted in a while for the people who don't know me I'm Thomas got my first 75 when I was 14 it was a bit like my one now its number plate was PX03 XMM.

What I've being doing I've just got facelift lights what I'm going to convert to Pre Facelift lights but before I do I'm going to make them Xeone my 75 has to be the most reliable one I have owned even though when I got it the 75 had no history at all and the guy I bought it off cut the fuel lines for 20 quid of fuel but since then I have had zero issues the car is only now starting to cost because of potholes have destroyed my suspension and I'm not sure if to keep it with the 75 suspension or change it to ZT so that's where i am now

Hello Thomas. When you say potholes are destroying your suspension, do you mean you have knocking noises when going over potholes? I have just had to change my droplinks because of the same reason. Not a bad job, and it is nice to have a car with no knocks.

The shockers and maybe the drop links shockers because they have leaked all the hydraulic oil out

Been busy with my MGB. So not really been posting on any of the groups, I've done the odd one but not like I did. I'm hoping to give my 75 some love as I havent really shown it the love it deserves. The only things I've replaced that made it look bad was the rear base seat. I have some new lights for it and other stuff. Selling one of the cars a red MGF 2000, besides that I've taken the seats out the B for some buckets seats. I've bought a few parts for it but waiting to be put them on but I'm going to do my 75 first.
