There are a lot of similarities between rebuilding a car, and doing the dishes.

Soaking in wool wash and simple green.

The best thing for cleaning before reassembling is Plexus plastic cleaner.

Unfortunately they don't make tail light gaskets for the Soarer anymore, and any that you can find are now 30 years old. This means you will have to make your own. You will need some rubber, 3mm EPDM rubber or similar, a knife and a set of punches (for making the holes).

Make a template with the old gasket

Gasket template.

Fitting the new gasket.

Put in as much new rubber as possible. Made new rubber washers and gaskets.

New parts, installed.

The side mirrors on the MZ12 are a bit of pain. They were only ever made for xZ1x soarers, and then only the ones that didn't come with fender mirrors.

There are lots of potential points of failure for these mirrors.

Parts rinsing after being soda blasted.

Clutch fan installed

Got around to rebuilding and installing the power steering pump this weekend.

If you can't buy it, you have to rebuild it.

Installed a new oxygen sensor.
