Put my new 'second hand' 'for the boot recess' MGF Tool kit in...the boot recess, (and righted a wrong after I sold a similiar kit with other MGF stuff thinking I wouldn't have another 'F).

Ground all the scabrous rust off the rear subframe with a very angry looking wire brush angle grinder attachment. Very satisfying

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
just driven my pride and joy to skipsea for 6 nights, not missed a beat in all the wind and rain, now shes sat on the paving next our static looking fantastic and a bit mucky, only thing I need to improve is the headlights are a bit poop.

Picture of MGF tool kit, just had a look at the Bay area, currently one up for grabs but missing the foam in the lid and two pairs of latex gloves.

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
Where is it stowed? I have a Trophy as well, didn't even know they had a tool kit. I will go and see if mine has one.

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
This was an MG Rover extra, not supplied with car. Quite a sought after item to have, not the best quality or totally comprehensive. Two on the Bay area in the last few weeks have gone for over one hundred notes.

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
As much as that !!!, I paid a fiver for mine brand new from B&G's back in 2004, transferred it from the F (along with the chrome boot lid finishers and the engine bay aperture grill and inspection panels).
The tool kit sits in the recess on the boot floor, as has been said, it was never a standard piece of kit just an option.

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
Nice tool kit! If I'd seen it for a fiver on the B&G stand, I'd have snapped it up! I'm amazed I missed it

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
A drive from Colindale to Enfield and back, an oil and filter change and fitted the door card finally. Found out the door speakers were Kenwood items.
A good day.

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
adjusted the o/s headlight as it was a bit low and the lights need all the help they can get, know I shouldn't but im thinking hid upgrade needed, safer than crashing into a tree in the dark.

Re: what have you done on your mgf today?
Always do something everyday when I've a project on the go just to keep enthusiasm and progress up, but being on nights I only washed the mud/rubbish off the inaccessible areas of the front bumper and headlights now they are off the car and flushed the radiator.
