MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
Please!! Anybody.
I've just seen a BGT for sale with leather interior for little more than new leather would cost. It's probably a parts car but loads of spares with it. It's about a 600 mile round trip with a trailer.
I haven't got room for it, haven't got room for the parts or to strip the car but I want to go for it.
For mercy's sake tell me I can't :D
Well if you did go and get it people would start to think you were one of those obsessive MG fanatics, poor souls.
Don't do it.
Just accept the feeling that in a while you''ll need just those parts that came with this car.
Just live with the feeling that a friend of yours comes by sooner or later needing exactly that part that ..........
You're no bloody help, Les :D
I've got first refusal on a 70 Midget just down the street, but don't know when or if it will come good. With that in the back of my mind I'm torn.
One good? thing. I mentioned it to she who must be obeyed when she got up this morning and she actually suggested an idea for some space. She can't have been fully awake.
..so if you didn't, what else would you do with all free time and spare cash?:eyeroll:
Just go get the thing and on the drive home pester your friends for a place to stash the little jewel. Isn't that what cell phones are for?
Flipping heck. 80% say I should get it.
Discussions have been going on all day here and subject to satisfactory answers from the seller It looks like it might be on. What the heck am I doing???
Les. It's only £500 but with trailer hire and costs of collection it will turn out nearer £700.
Steve, I only want it for the leather interior. If it's not too bad rot wise I will probably get it welded up and sell it on. Hopefully I should show a profit but if I only get my money back I've got a leather interior for nothing but some time.
£700 and a lot of work for a used leather interior? I think you can do better. If you want a parts car then go for it, but if you can save money by ordering a brand new leather kit then I'd go that route.
I think you already have your mind made up and you are now just bragging and rubbing it in to make all the rest of us jealous.
Go fo it.
I asked about price because PJM are still doing leather seat covers for £175 so with foams and rear seat your only looking at £300 for new leather.That put your parts GT out the ballpark area.
700 plus if lucky 200 for MOT pass,plus time,mess outside house,ad costs,and really you should be on the TD for the summer:).
I don't think its worth it.
You can't......................possibly do the trip in one hit......suggest at least a couple of comfort stops
He doesn't want to break it up, Stan.
Having seen some pictures of it, I'll be leaving it and looking elsewhere to sort my seats out.
