Also, that is a very interesting solution for getting some color to the grill slats. How is it to clean though? Just wondering.

I don’t know if you have seen it, but Ringo’s MG has reflective tape over it’s slats that also looks really cool.

   Keep up the creativity, it’s giving me some good ideas!

James,

    Real nice details! Some creative and unique modifications for sure. I especially like the trim on the dash and the TD radiator cap. Very cool. Thanks for posting pics, Post more!!

Rich,
Believe it or not, that is a real concern(melting). It frequently gets to over 110 here and sometimes 120 degrees.
But either way I’m so freeking excited! I’ll probably spend a whole week just detailing it after collecting dust in my dad’s garage for 4 years. I’ll be sure to post lots of pics as I go.
   Good luck on your steering! Di…[Read more]

Hey Rich,

   I had the same exact problem about 3 years ago. There is a very easy fix. I found a replacement disk at NAPA auto parts for about $3.00. This one was made out of rubber (It looked like the same black rubber material a radiator hose is made of, just several layers and sewn together). To reinstall it it’s much easier if you remove th…[Read more]

Awesome! Congrats!! That is very exciting, hope all goes well. Breath in the exaust laced air, peel some rubber, and enjoy all the envious stares from everyone you pass!

Oh yeah and as far as the trip to AZ; I’ve done it twice already, takes about 3 days. Might be pretty fun in the MG I just have to wait for warm weather. I don’t really want…[Read more]

Hey Rich!

Between the terrible economy, and a $1900 mortgage it has been difficult getting the extra money to ship it. It drives me crazy! I think about the car every day. Tax money is coming soon or worst case scenario I may drive it here myself. I fly for free (work for a major airline) so why not?
   Either way, I vow to have it here in PH…[Read more]

Hi Rick,

You should post some pics of your fenders. They might sell better.

Also, what happened to the incomplete MG? are you going to finish it, part it out, or sell as is? Just curious-
    Good Luck

I think that since there are no up close pictures, no details other than “wood steering wheel” etc. this guy probably has no idea what he is talking about. He probably bought it from someone to try to re-sell for a quick buck. Sucks for him though, he’ll never get 10.5K for it.
   But I like the color!

Rich,

   She sure cleaned up nice! The wind wings look great on the car.
   Did you take her for her inaugural cruise around the neighborhood yet?

Hey Bob,
   I was bored and cruising Ebay. I noticed 2 different kits. Both are nice and both are VW based MGs.
Item number: 320340197713,in Eugene Oregon and Item number: 110350623931 in Kensington MD. Check em’ out if you get a chance both are still under $1,000 but have a lot of time left still.

Hi Bob,
There are many types of kits, and many grades of quality.
   You have to decide if you like front or rear engine kits, also then dicide on a manufacturer.
   As far as front engine kits, they come on different platforms(chevette, pinto, mustang etc.) and also engines (usually 4 or 6 cylinder, but I have also seen some v8s too) Not to me…[Read more]

HAhaha! It’s no big deal And yeah MG Magic should join the 21st century. I think Brad is an old school guy and going modern might be too much for him.
It dosen’t bother me either way if the info gets posted, after all this is a forum for enthusiasts, not a swap meet! I just get excited when I find neat MG related stuff to share.
Bottom line,…[Read more]

Bob,
   That car is stinkin gorgeous! I love the modern stylized look. the windshield is awesome chopped, I love the roll bars, cool color! I can’t wait to see pics of her finished.

I think I sent it to FrankieD but I realize he doesn’t really run the site anymore.
Sorry for the confusion!
And sorry if this is not the proper venue to post the catalog, I just thought people might like to see what parts/current prices are available.
I hope I didn’t rub anyone the wrong way by my last post, It wasn’t my intention, just…[Read more]

Real nice work Rich! very professional.

Rich,
The MG logo on my spinners are from MG Magic. I’m not sure if you like them, but if you do they should be on the price list I sent you. Just another idea

Hi Bill,
   MY 53 TD, Yeah that was a cool vanity plate. Unfortunately, by the time I started driving that car my father did not want to pay for the plates anymore and I was in college so I just got regular state issue plates. So as far I know, the # should be up for grabs unless maybe they hold it for a time or if someone else already took it…[Read more]

Sorry, it didn’t upload I guess. I’ll try to e-mail it to you. It’s a composition pic of 64 different MG emblems from different cars. pretty neat.

cool,
Thanks rich! check out this photo from flickr

Rich,
I was just surfing around this site and noticed on pg 61 of the fiberfab manual in the “download manuals” section of this group there is a diagram of exactly how my stone guards attach to the headlamps. Check it out when you get a chance.
