And so it begins...
Recently purchased a 2003 MG TF from my brother, which was my dads before that. The car has been in storage for a short while circa (1.5 years) and driven very rarely. It has been regularly started once every couple of weeks.
In the last couple of years, a fair wad of money has been spent on fixing mechanical issues, so I'm hoping that the majority of them will no longer cause an issue - but this is an MG TF.
During my brothers ownership, the car has been neglected and unloved. Both door handles broke and were replaced with blue ones, as shown in the pictures below. This is first on my list to rectify.
The aim is to get it back to the clean and mechanically sound car that it once was. I will then be looking at modifications and weight reduction that will help for track use.
Spec:
MG TF 135
Sunspot Yellow
Anthracite Trophy wheels
TT stainless exhaust
43k miles
First job was a quick clean as the car was filthy and dusty.
After a quick clean I wanted to crack on with spraying the interior panels gloss black, rather than the hideous yellow they were.
Interior panels are currently hanging in the shed after spraying and hoping to get them refitted this coming weekend.
Next on the list;
Replace single 'ditch finder" tyre on rear
Spray exterior door handles
Service
Fit new disks and pads
Fit new badges all around
Thorough clean and polish throughout
Fit new soft top roof with glass window (supplied with sale). Current roof has mould on inside.
Will update when further progress is made.
