The MG finally left the workshop today after almost a years worth of welding, grinding, painting and anything else you can do to a car. It's more or less finished now, although I'm planning to experiment with the suspension a bit over the winter and possibly rebuild the engine in a year or so

Glade you like it, I agree that it sits too high, and I will be lowering it over the winter when I fiddle with the suspension.

The last picture is a normally aspirated A Series engine for those who have forgotten what they look like. So time to fit a T3 then8-) you can compete with the M3 drifting in the other treat. 
I know I can :)  (allthough I shit in seven colours):$

I've think I've got too used to the Mini and chucking it round the back country lanes. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Spridget, I've not really looked at the frontline site much, however I've a feeling I'll be getting a few bits from Peter May over the winter.
