Well im a sucker for a lost cause as said last night while explaining to my wife why this MG had followed me home. Full weekend ahead for me checking, greasing, cleaning and then off to test.

Of course it won't mate, I am sure she understands - normally a shopping bribe does the trick.

Looks pretty reasonable nick and for a white car too. How much did you pay for her / pass the MOT ok?

Test is coming up, the car is solid as a rock and has had new sills (inner and outer) new castle rails, stainelss exhasut, new front dampers and a host of other parts, There is a 4" x 4" patch to weld on the drivers side footboard but other than that not a thing to do. It cost me £325 and came with a full new carpet set new c post liners and box full of other new bits so a right result.

That looks like a tidy little B.
Repainting the Rostyles or a new set of minilites will finish it off.
The lines look clean without the chrome strip down the side. smile

You jammy G1T smile £300 notes what a bargain.. by time you have done some of those little bits and valet you could make a Grand on top minimum. Was the seller like desparado for some readies or had no clue as to what they had on driveway??? as they say one man's junk is another man's treasure. Nice One !

Blimey nice little find! 6 MG's? I thought I was greedy with 2...
If you havn't got the chrome side strips i've got some I could do with getting rid of (not selling, just getting out of the garage but don't want to skip them)

Because you don't know what the hell you're doing?


There's a little link when you compose a message that says "Upload an image (beta)"

You could try using that?

Thought I'd give it a whirl (used forum fit option) - here is my baby.
Going in on Saturday to have some brand new VVC alloys fitted.
If anyone is interested in buying the minilites, they are on Ebay (ends Sat 1st May 3pm) - link after photo
