I agree, the Le Mans green is a great colour. And the picture of the 3 is great, al those cars look fantastic.

A properly repaired crack will be every bit as strong as the plastic around.

I do until someone adds another post and then the edit button vanishes.

I should have said that the rubber does not fit closely to the bracket. (I don't seem to be able to edit my original post)

Welcome.

In my opinion, the Abingdon is the best looking 'special' F or TF that was made.

The subframe itself is in good condition, only surface rust, but lots of corroded bolts, I've replaced almost all of the subframe mounts bolts.

I've replaced both front subframe mounts on the rear subframe and on both sides the bolts sheared and the captive nut broke free while drilling it out. I ended up having to weld in new 'captive' nuts.

There was a seat rebuild article in the August 2016 issue of 'MG Enthusiast'. There is also this website explaining the rebuilt of a TF seat: mgtf115darkside.blogspot.com/2007/08/new-seat-covers.html

I replaced the seat and back foams last winter using the website and the article in MG Enthusiast; it was really easy to do. The only special tool need is hog ring pliers and hog rings.
