Re: Mgf donor car: building an MG Allegro VVC!

Haha, yes, doors would be prohibitively expensive...
Most of the things I need are small, so shouldn't be too bad for shipping.

I have a BMW Z3 with those exact fasteners, so a call to BMW might help!

Re: One for the Canadians...maybe.

Looks nice, and a darn sight easier than the LHD conversion I am working on... A caveat for potential Canadian buyers though. If it is not old enough, Canada Customs may seize it, that is worst case scenario, best case scenario, they hold it un storage until it is legal, at $50+ a day... If you have...

Re: Converting my RHD to LHD

It has been a while since I have posted and I did promise photos... It was a good weekend, the electrics are all done, the car starts on the key and all systems are working as they should, all the controls are now hooked up and functioning, brakes, throttle, steering, and the interior is back in. St...

Re: Converting my RHD to LHD

I am going to pop my heater blower out tonight and see what's up, I will report back. It may be me trying too hard to piece this together in my head, but if the blower gets switched from one side to the other, won't it be blowing the wrong direction? Possibly I can reverse the power leads and it wil...

Re: Converting my RHD to LHD

Thanks for that, on sale too! Also, it looks like the ducting piece that goes from the intake to the heater isn't handed, so i will be able to source that pretty simply.

Re: Converting my RHD to LHD

Perhaps it is because mine is a Japanese import with AIRcon (now removed). The air intake originally comes in through the left side, through the AC unit and into the left side of the heater assembly. I don't see a way at this point that I will be able to duct the fresh air from the outside, to the h...

Re: Mgf donor car

No worries, are you in Canada? I wonder what the postage would be?!! Typically shipping isn't too bad... If we can send in the post, that is best. I have had 3 MGF's (still have 2) which of course, aren't available in Canada, so I am used to ordering parts from the UK... :) Other things I need, Lef...
