OK. - first post in the diary is just to show what the car looks like after I got my hands on it and cleaned it. Well almost, the hard top has been added and the car stereo has been swapped out already along with replacing the front and rear MG badges as the existing ones were faded to almost nothing.
Side on but all pretty standard so far.
and inside all as it came - including knackered rear view mirror
I have already been on a spending spree over the bank holiday weekend and the mods to come so far are all minor and cosmetic:
shiny door lock pins
shiny oil and clock rings
shiny heater panel rings
speedo panel shiny surrounds
wind stop (hopefully)
mesh grill for boot vents
alloy touch up paint (until I can manage a refurb.)
additional usb ports added into the centre console compartment.
There are also some functional updates:
replacement fag / power socket
replacement rear view mirror
wiper linkage
bonnet release cable
The ideas list is far too long and changeable to list but I plan on keeping this thread up to date with the progress of the cars development into something I can be proud of whilst being able to still get out and enjoy it on the roads.
