They will make any state plate, any color and any year you request. check out my photos in the gallery. Had one made a few years ago and it holds up nicely. Once you decide on the plate you want it’s best to call them to get the color plate you want.

Received my calendar today. Damn good quality, photos on heavy duty card stock and very clear. No complaints from me.

Would love to be there, but 1100 miles is a little to far for me. Wouldn’t have much butt left.

Got mine ordered today, I think. Site was a little confusing to me, but don’t think it’s the sites fault. The calendar looks great. Just not a computer wizard.

Ed,
No problem from me, Hell I fell honored you used my photos in the first calendar. I would buy one.

Purchased my set from MG Magic, $7.95 for a complete set. MG Magic is listed on the links page.
I agree with Pink MG and also did the same things. As Bob Dylan said “the times they are changing”.
Scott, I bought my car from someone in Wisconsin (Reedsburg) thru the Volo Auto Museum and it came titled as a 1952 MG.

When I mounted the wheels, the new tires would rub the front fenders (at the top/inside portion of the fenders) in sharp turns. This was caused by the width and height of the new tires. I went from 175/65R14 to 205/70R14. But as I said earlier it was a simple fix. One inch hard rubber spacers placed on the top of the coil springs. Cost about $95 to install the spacers. I knew I would have to buy new tires for the wheels, but the spacers caught me by suprise. You may not have this problem just won’t know till you have them mounted on your car. The wheels that MG Magic sells are manufactured by McKleen (spelling). Also I was able to use my spinners on the new wheels, didn’t really care for the ones that came with the new wheels.
Purchased a set of (5) wire wheels from MG magic last year. $595 plus shipping. I am satisfied with the wheels.The only thing I didn’t like was my old tires wouldn’t fit. Had to buy new tires but was able to sell the old tires and baskets for close to the cost of the new tires. Also after mounting them, found that they (tires) would rub on my front fenders so mounted some spacers in the front and everything worked out fine. If you go to the gallery, the last two photos will show the car with the new wire wheels, one close up and then one side view of the car.
Bill,
Check is in the mail today for grill badge w/o clips. Couldn’t get the Pay-Pal function to work.

Mel,
Bought and installed the same radio last year. Same problem, thickness of the dash would not allow me to use fader controls. I also have two speakers mounted in rear, so it didn’t turn out to be much of a problem. Have about three hours of music on a USB stick, I listen to the stick mostly when I can remember to bring it with me. Darn good sounding radio for $49.00.

Bought them from MG Magic, set of 5 for about $695. They have them for chevy and ford bolt patterns. Tire 205/65R14,tires are 7 inches wide. I used my old spinners because I didn’t like the ones that came with the rims. I thought about it for a long time before buying them, but my old rims were just completely rusted around the inside edge and didn’t do much for the looks of the car. I think the new rims are made by McClean not really sure.

Click on photo gallery, then click on upload photos. What happens? When I use the icon with the folder, it says incorrect format,the one with the tree will get me to post on a thread. But to just add photos to the gallery won’t work.
Gil
Same thing here. The way I posted pictures to my gallery was to just post them to another thread, then they ended up in my gallery.

Pink MG,
Thanks for these two web sites (fordpinto.com) I have been looking on the internet for two weeks trying to find a set of valve covers for a 2.8L. And with your lead I think I found a set in Florida. Just hope they are still available.
sarge
Don’t look as if these will fit. Did email him and ask if he has any that will fit.
THANKS
Gil
Been to every auto parts store in town. No one can find them. Started looking for dress up covers first, then decided to find a pair and send them off to get chromed. Still no luck. Could send these off to get chromed but am afraid they would get lost in the mail then I don’t know what I would do then. Besides, don’t want the car laid up for that long without valve covers. I know somewhere, someone has a pair sitting up in a warehouse. Its not a needed item right now, just one of those wanna haves.
The 2.8L V6 is a powerful engine, smooth running. Could’nt tell you about high speed driving, I’m not a fast driver
But it does handle very well at 60 MPH, get up and go is very nice also.Would appreicate it if you keep me posted on finding a pair, will do the same.
