18 Month

[TheBearUK]

I've taken a week off... because I need to but I've done a bit of thinking, and unfortunately as yet haven't checked the rear Shock's... but still time.
18 month ago I decided to try and enjoy driving again, Ive had lease cars for about 10 years and although the hassle free motoring was nice the constant worry about mileage was not. I wanted something cheap, economical , at a stage where maximum depreciation had been reached and something big enough to accommodate me
I went for the MG ZT and after 18 month the only niggle has been the Clutch and a bad repair (lessons learnt) and a drift-y back end, could just be me but i will check those shocks, but for a 10 owner 150k car I think ive done well, the car now stands at 165k.
Ive decided to go back to a small lease car for everyday use in 6 month time and the MG can go onto limited milage insurance, and then I'll like to remove the synergy box (I think it must be running on it, I thought the car was pokey )
Things I want to do
T4 boost to 160
stainless exhaust
new Disks and pads
Alloys refurbed and spare insert created for full size alloy
bonnet repainted
door strips - paint removed and chrome polished (already on way on opne side)
internal mirror mount re-painted

Hopefully I'll get through the next 6 month then she can have a rest and jobs done.

I'm not an avid enthusiast, my car will never be concourse, its a work horse and it gets hammered, but I'm well impressed with it.
