Hi all , I'm from south wales and decided to buy a maestro for the first time.... Ive ended up with a slightly scruffy - its been out all winter and driven - silver MG maestro. its basically solid - needs a couple of lower welds and a rear wheel arch redone... and some immediate slapdash of paint to cover the rust until i get a chance to strip back and treat in a couple of months time. It will live in a car port in the meantime. The interior is good with just 2 niggles so far - a seat adjuster knob missing of drivers seat and broken clips on gear stick gaiter - i presume... mechanicals need a basic service but the cam belt is also due - its a 1996 o series so hoping the belt and tensioner are the later type as read about early ones.... Any hints and tips you can point me at or advice on repair panels for rear arches that i can get by reading the forum - i will go thru it over next few weeks. will also join the club properly next month. Thanks in advance
my plans for the car are basically turn it from a 50ft to a 30ft car initially - do the maintenance - fluids filters belts sparks, then start the rust treatment and get a lower re-spray and tail gate done. need a new back bumper and the rear arch sporty plastic bits....(what ever they are called) Oh and get it thru its MOT.
