New project

[jonny69]

Well, time to start another of my mgf's. A nice Taihti Blue one. Just the standard 1.8, nothing fancy but i like to save them rather than break or scrap them. Body isn't bad, interior is nice, underneath is going to need some work. Lot's of surface rust and a good sized hole on the floor behind the drivers side rear sill. All fixable with a bit of time and welding. Going to keep it pretty much stock apart from low coolant sensor, stainless coolant pipes and a couple of other bits. Here's a few pictures.













Time to crack out the grinding discs and welder

Great to hear people saving rather than scrapping these fantastic little cars.

I agree. There seems to be so many being broken for spares at the moment. Handy for those fixing up projects but a shame all the same.

Crikey - the rear end underside looks like it was recovered from the sea bed! :-O

Great project though - the rest of the car looks great

ok, i may have quite a bit of welding to do. I think i need to order a sill repair panel...at least..









Not looking pretty. The inner sill is ok, just some surface rust so i will treat that and then waxoyl it all when done. Hopefully it will be worth it.

The body itself and all other parts are ok so i think it should be worth carrying on with the project. Sometimes you wonder though..Bloody MG's

Looks nice and crusty, I often wonder how they get so rusty

Mine were not nearly this Titanical...

[Rob Bell]

Looks repairable though - good luck!

[jonny69]

It's all fixable, just waiting for some free time to get to it now

[Rob Bell]

Ah, free time. The most precious of commodities...
