Early bonnet!
Rear arches spot on
Correct front carpet with no centre consol
bits that need attention to make it spot on
Proper red sport exhaust, selling magnex would fund a replacement
3 speed fan instead of 2 speed, not sure how easy a 2 speed switch is to find?
Few dents on panels from when its been sat around and wheeled in and out every day
passenger wing
drivers wing
drivers door has some bubbling, but nothing to worrying
biggest concern but isn't to serious is this slight crack where what could be a rear panel has been replaced when he has restored it
Got these on ebay
Spent the other night giving it a wash, clayed it all paint was minging, looks loads better. Tried to get it started but no luck, mate of mine came round tonight who knows carbs inside out and has a balancing tool, Took him 2mins!! Git, the other night I also got impatient doing stuff and wanted to see progress so stuck the bonnet decal on, trust me to get it wrong!! lucky i have a spare
this was from an area about 1ft square!!
Can see the muck lifting
Also took a couple of pics of the "collection"
Wifes 1.2 sx
Spider and XE
not a bad drive full
Bit work from tonight, carbs are spot on going to a local place tomorrow who restore MGs to get a throttle return spring for 99p that should cure the idle fully, also fitted the boot decal, dead easy job tbh easier than I thought, Fitted a new Vacuum advance, makes a nice improvement to the detail of the engine bay along with the early spec expansion tank
Cam cover in sport colours.. Stay or go??
Original supplying dealer plates
boot decal need a 1.3 badge
Anyone not want to take the magnex off my hands inplace of a red Ashley tail pipe? its starting to bug me being all shiney it should be red!
started to do the sills aswel in paint, originaly it was sticker but that sounds to complicated
She looking better all ready just for a good clean.
Boot sticker looks great, not a fan of the painted rocker cover tho...
Did know they had black sills...
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
Looking much better for a clean, boot decal looks spot on too!

Looks a good honest shell that.
Is it a genuine Sport shell or a rep?
