Hello, I'm from Belgium and recently got my hands on a low mileage 1 owner garage only 1999 VVC:
The clock shows 034298 miles and everything looks perfect. The only rusted parts are the bolts. So many things I plan to do and want to discuss with other MGF owners.
I will right away start a thread laying out everything I have already done and plan to do.

Hi Welcome Kima, You're not the only continental contributer over here, this is a forum with enthusiasts from all over the world Helping each other out with tips and useful advice.
Both Belgium and the Netherlands have a rich community of MGF and MGTF drivers so support can be near as well. As a mater of fact in my area (southern part of the Netherlands) the number of active F and TF owners is growing especially by young F and TF owners.
Good luck with your project looking forward to your stories of progress.

Bolts rust on every F and TF, I presume they had no anti rust treatment at all, I've changed most visible bolts for SS ones. You have the correct wheels on your VVC, what's the interior and exterior colour?
Cheers!
