1991 MG Montego 2.0i

[Jeff Turbo]

Latest project and the last one i'm taking on but couldn't refuse really
The car was being used as a donor for another car by a forum member. I agreed to remove the turbo engine that a previous owner had half inserted in the engine bay, remove the dash and put it into another car and show how to do a headlining in exchange for this. I have the headlining to do to complete the deal when back from holiday
As arrived

[Jeff Turbo]

Its quite solid and doesn't need any welding

[Jeff Turbo]

I have a complete interior to pick up soon, I also have an engine, gearbox and all wiring needed to complete. I also have somewhere a facelift ECU
The boot has been leaking water as it has quite a lot of surface rust on the boot floor and the spare wheel boss is missing.
Updates to follow

Looks like you have a good base for a tidy car there Jeff. Good luck with the build!

Thanks Pete
Yeah it is tidy, not going to be a concourse car but I should be able to make it useable

As said above does look to be a very tidy car & well saved. Mine had rust in the same place on the lower wheelarch but on the offside. From what I can see of the seats they look to be in a very tidy condition too.

Seat aren't too bad Andy. No rear seats or headrests but as said I have a complete interior coming. Will use the best of the front seats.
Doors have minor rust on the them but I do have 2 good BRG doors in my spares if I need them

That looks like a nice little project there Jeff!

And it's the last one Ed, I have enough to last me awhile and I need other things to do and I'm getting little time to myself or my Mrs.
I have 4 projects on the go now including my son's turbo and this will be the last

Understandable Jeff. We all need to draw the line somewhere.

Where do you find all these montego's ?

[E_T_V]

I have a feeling they tend to find Jeff these days

Jeff the montego magnet

I get offered them

True, they do

Jeff the montego magnet

That's very true Peter. I know a lot of people and I do get offered cars.
But hopefully no more. I turned down 2 last year but this one doesn't need too much and won't cost much to put back on the road and I couldn't resist.
Seems an honest car and would have probably been completely stripped and scrapped. This is instead of the silver MG Monty that I had to scrap.

[Jeff Turbo]

I have this to finish and get road worthy for my son who bought this off Mat. Then I can work in this car, my 1.6 and put my sons turbo on the back boiler for a while, shame as i'm making progress on it but I want him to be involved with it again. The red digidash will have to wait till im ready




It now runs but not sweetly yet
