Got to get another mgf

[Db09]

Hi guys
We have one mgf (mo) but I want to get another one that needs a total restore .
So I can build it to how I want /think one should be built .
Mo will be a pure mgf the other will be different .
Maybe get an n or p reg .
Bodywork ecosse blue
Seats etc Red
Wheels white
Hardtop white
Softop white
May sound odd colours but I think it will look good .
If any of you did an mgf to how you would like it how would you do it ?

I fancy building an MGTF speedster - with either no windscreen or a low fly screen, and areo hump behind the driver. I like the idea of fitting this car with Lamborghini doors. Interior would be inspired by the Eagle E type. Power would be a 1.8t

So many ideas, too little space and time to realise them!

So much to do! ............................................................................ so little time

Id do it as a 911 flat 6 motor or may be mazda rx8 rotary power for compactness

Go the other way around. I have an N reg VVC White diamond (1 of 733) for sale

I also have an Anthracite mk1 with carbon wrapped bonnet, TF boot with spoiler, full mk2 beige interior and a LE500 Heritage style Vibrant Orange hardtop and 17 inch black and silver alloys (not going anywhere ever)

I thought about the 911 engine in a Porsche Boxter - would be a cracking little project! Bet it has been done to death by now?

[Reckless Rat]

isn't there a fundamental difference between a 911 and a Boxter/Cayman in that in the 911 the motor is air-cooled and at the back, and the Boxster/Cayman is a water cooled mid engined with the g/Box at the rear? Don't know if you can swap them over, but wouldn't it be better to try it in a shagged out old Beetle instead?

Did the guy that was putting a Subaru WRX in an F ever get it finished?

[jaydoginvasion]

Didn't the 911 change to water Cooling in about 1998?

[jaydoginvasion]

Yep, just checked. The 996 series was introduced in 1998 and was water cooled.

[Rob Bell]

Absolutely - contemporaneous 911 and Boxter generations share the same engine architecture - and also the same front bulkhead/A-fame/front crash structure (that this helps with an engine at the rear, but mentioned only to highlight the engineering similarities between ostensibly two very dissimilar cars.

The devil is in the detail, so there may be reasons why you can't stick a 996 GT3 engine in the middle of a Boxter - but I haven't looked into it! I'm happy just tinkering with my MGs!

The main reason for me would be the wife...
