Okay so I guess I’m going to start from the inside out and build a motor. I know nothing of this but thought it was time to learn. It can’t be that much different than rebuilding an old Ford or chevy. It looks like you go to GEX or Mid america and get a Short Block and go from there. Any thoughts or suggestions.

Sooooo. Hows it going

 Ed, That’s a great find. Seems like I remember a kit called the Corsair. Notice the grille emblem reads MC not MG.The body appears to be one piece ,Ican’t  see any seams in the pics. The end view of the hood looks extra thick and with a flange molded near the edge for even more strength.
 Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Mel,
I actually found a new top with side curtains on ebay for $200. It was still wrapped from the factory and still had the protective paper on the clear plastic parts. It was a fortunate find, but took 2 months of searching ebay for one to show up. It fit perfectly and can be seen in my photos section.

Many folks have gone to a boat shop and had tops made. Not sure of the cost of going that route. But it will give you many more options than MG Magic’s stock.

Is the car a manual or automatic?
You said, “I get a vibration in the drive train when starting out”. If that means when releasing the clutch, it could be clutch chatter from a few different causes.
Does it only happen as you “start out”?
Rotted mounts cannot help either.

Thanks to all who answered I am not a good mechanic , but I found some rubber mounts on the tube case that bolts to the frame , and one of them is ripped into.Will take a look at all these things when I get it running again, I am redoing the front body mounts and the dash board this winter.

I’m going with the Black walls maybe the next set will be white walls
I will post a picture of the wheels in a few days my son has them he will be bringing them to me tomorrow I have to strip them and paint them gray/silver

Thanks,
I will give them a call

white walls= “elegance”black walls=sportyI like the black walls meself but seen some real purdy white-walled cars

I always liked Beggars Banquet and 12 by 5.
I saw the original Rolling Stones at the Asbury Park Convention Hall in the summer of 1965…Satisfaction has just been released.
I saw them again at Madison Square Garden in NYC on July 26, 1973 for Mick Jaggers 30th birthday party. Stevie Wonder was the “warm-up” act. 

 Look in suntansailor’s gallery and you can see the same car with black and then wide whites. It’s a light yellow car so the overall effect would be the same as on a white car.

I like the wide white walls but I’m too cheap to pay for them. I think if you go to my gallery you’ll se a poster of all our tires and hubcaps might help with desision

Keen to see those wheels, Russ. What are they from?Also, you might check into the original MG hubcaps. I believe they were held on by steel clips that were affixed somehow to the wheels. Moss has ’em for $25 each and the Bay has ’em too from time to time.Good luck.
