sjc Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 It's a '76 so rubber bumper 1500cc but it's got wire wheels. Soft top but planning to get a hardtop so it can be used in the wetter and colder months. Nice....get some pics up to show the progress of the project :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_K_97 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 You think that's good? I practically creamed my pants when I first went on a bullet train. Something else. Jings, when I go to Japan I think that's the first thing I'll do! Must be quite something compared to what we have here! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard old mg's are reasonable cheap to do up, due to an abundance of cheap parts available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 That is a cool car. I've heard old mg's are reasonable cheap to do up, due to an abundance of cheap parts available. The tooling of a lot of MGs was salvaged by people like Moss and the MG Owners Club, the result is you could just about build most virtually from scratch I'd you wanted to. They're relatively cheap to maintain for cars of that age and pretty solid. My dad has a BGT and he's been able to rebuild his engine with reasonably good mechanical skill. By contrast, my uncle has a Triumph 2000 and despite being as mechanically competent and as car mad, it's been off the road for several years now because he can't get replacement wings (his own have bad corrosion) as they're just so scarce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a pity the bumper aren't chrome.....looks even better that way in my opinion. Smart though mate....wasn't trying to put a downer on your purchase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart though mate....wasn't trying to put a downer on your purchase. My dad's partial to the chrome bumper (his MGB is a '67 reg so has one) and I generally agree it's a nicer look, but the Midget wears the rubber bumper far better than the B does in my opinion. Might be ripe for a chrome bumper conversion some point in the future but the priority just now is to get a hard-top and get it on the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say its more a classic look than better look....you're quite right to prioritise the works required. Keep us posted with the pics mate....only a matter of time before you've got the burds fighting for a "ride" ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
