I Finally Got The Little Mg Ready For Summer.... - ANTHONYD - 04-10-2005

Had the Mg in storage at my Father's for the winter and finally got it uot for a boot yesterday. As nice as it is out....It;s still freakin' cold going 80 mph in 8 degree weather.

Here is my other car. It's Brittish. don't hold me against it.

And before you flame for the seats....let me explain. I had thes put in because I like to make serious raod trips in this car. Tobermory, Muskoka, Quebec City. I wanted something comfortable...Safe and bigger than the original seats....The original seats are none of those things.

They are currently at an upolstery shop being re-built and bolt on the the same rails my Cobra seats fit in. So when the Bronte Brittish car shows comes around.... I'll bolt in the original seats.

Let me know what you think!

I have had the car for 9 years.... I bout it for 800bux and let's say it consisted of several milk crates and garbage bags. It's taken me a few years to get it to where it is and I add a little something every year. This year it't the original steering wheel. I have it.... I'm just waiting for the knuckle to come in for it. It's going to be one of those "pop off" ones to make it easier to get in and out of the car. I'm a big dude and this car is definately NOT made for me! So I have to make little mods to make this car work for me.

I had the engine COMPLETLY redone about 6 years ago. Bored blasted and finished. I've had this car upto about 90 mph I chickened out about there. The car runs better than my focus and is a real blast on a long road trip. Jenn and I are going to visit a cousin in Vermon this summer in it.

Even with it's short wheel base and tiny length, I can still manage to do a pretty good burnout. I'm gentle on it as it's still the original clutch and tranny.

Yup.
I missed last year. My dad took it though.

I usually attend strictly for the swap meet.

Do they hold a 4-point harness?

The original seats are actually done with the upolstry place. I'm picking them up this weekend.

The Cobra seats are temporary. I only use them when I'm off on road trips. When the original seats are done, those will be put in.
