Get it worked on at any BMC shop using Moss Motors parts. I like to take old British cars and recycle them into something cool and useful. The kit car bodies lend themselvesTo being made into some totally new.

Just looked at how original was built. You will have to extend a MG Midget 14″ to work on the TD body. mGB will have to extend 9″ to work. I have a TR6 in the shop now, so it will be a while on the nextTD!
