  • Random pic update

    Not really done much for about 2 months now. Its had a fuel pump fault which i've traced to a dodgy earth, and then the starter motor packed up and has been off being reconditioned for the last week.
    Can't put my interior back in till i know if the fuel pump issue is cured and i obviously cant run it till the starter is back....
    2 random pics...



    I've been refurbing the alloys in the meantime, inspired by a few i've seen on peoples cars on here. First, what I begun with

    after a polish

    and painted

    and fitted

    I also tried a couple of mgf alloys

    and how she's spent the last couple of weeks, buried in BL corner gathering dust, between an mgf and hiding under the cover is a herald.

                She's going Rover Gunmetal,
                Quick paint out of an aerosol just to see the colour....


                Hoping to have it in primer just before christmas.

                    Lee, Bodgit, has a slate grey MG Montego Turbo and a mighty fine colour it is.
                    Like what you've done with the cross spokes, very good

                      Well, spent the day in the workshop today, trying to get the car ready for paint.
                      Not done as much as i would of liked, still got loads to do tomorrow.





                      If your wondering about the missing door, I removed the rub strip and the skin came to



                      I'll have to refit the old one and find a way to re attach the trim under the window

                      The dents in the door came after, when i got a bit wound up with it lol
