1973 BGT in Black Tulip with the impossible to replace Ochre interior, initial plan is to do a 'light touch' tart-up and use it for a while before looking at a more extensive restoration. All the usual rust in all the usual places so a good project on which to learn to weld![thumbup](/inc/images/thumbup.gif)

Keep it unique and purple, resist the change to the common colours, it's such a 70's color and looks the part ??
Don't worry, I love the combination of the Black Tulip with the Rostyle wheels, that will be staying in all its 1970's loveliness. I may go with a tan interior given the difficulty getting Ochra seat covers but otherwise I'll keep it stock.TarmacRV8 said:
Yeah Ive always liked the color too, with tan and rostyles and maybe a v8 ??whats that other car in the cnr? A mclaren ?
Cheers, not a fan of major modifications so I'll be keeping the 4 pot in the MG, I like my classics to feel like they would when new, of their era if you like.Yes, the MG shares garage space with my 570s McLaren, another reason I don't feel the need for extra speed in the MG

The V6 could well be the performance bargain of the year. 1.8 turbo good donor for a tF.
Diesel good family run about.
Since cleaning the plug to the fuel pump mine has been just fine (typical BL) but I have ordered a filter set and pump just in case it's the inter part of the mittent.

Very similar to the surveyors car, though it's a V8 and very much not a project. Previous owner spent a fortune!

Promised myself one years ago - finally decided.to do it. Absolutely cracking machine!
A few tasteful tweaks so far, moto-lita wheel, locking fuel.cap & nice.wooden knob to go with the wheel..
Tempted by electronic ignition - both for.ease but also the immobiliser capability...
