Sadly I have nothing OEM to offer that would be needed, unless an original header tank is required.......

 

we have the exhaust that came off Danny's car, dark door handles and some seats and door cards that can be swapped over for his nice leather ones..oh and an OEM knob!

great idea Clive!

 

Although I have no power over who gets my old exhaust (since it's not mine any more)... Paul is a good candidate!

It's a shame you can't buy it back.. I'd be tempted to cut off the a-frame, weld the doors, and convert into a proper 'retro' racer!

 

Guys you don't have to do this! It's my mess and I'll do my best to fix it!

Need to work out the pro's and con's of getting the insurance to write it off tomorrow when they are open, I won't be able to buy it back as it'll be a cat B - if that's the route I take I'll get all my bits off it and swap it for economy spec ones from ebay and .org; don't forget there's quite a few bits at the bottom of the valley that they are welcome to climb down and retreive should they wish

Whether we have to or not doesnt matter mate, you were'nt asked if it was ok anyway, so shut up and accept it :rofl:

 

I can match the OEM lights if I'm any closer than Clive

 

Just remembered I have the standard front discs, pads and calipers if it helps.

 

Who's up for a 115 to 135 engine conversion?

 

I've never done an engine swap but I'm willing to help any way I can, I dont live far from you and have a good selection of tools. Also if you need any OEM part you are more than welcome to take them off my car, in return for your non-oem parts, and then when you get a new car we can swap them around

 

Sorry guys I dont have anything that is going to be any good...

Great idea though Clive and Paul, just sit back and accept this is going to happen no matter what you say!!!

 

is the car available Paul ?

Can't promise but would be willing to lend a hand if it would help. Can you make it July when the new tunnel opens on the A3

 

I have an old centre console and gear gaitor ring and leather fitting if any good.

Maybes a list of the parts Paul is taking off his car, and .orger's can fill the blanks..........

 

I HAVE 2 PLASTIC 48MM THROTTLE BODY

1 set of standard calipers
and could get 3 pepper pots if needed but need 2 tyres

or i could swap mine for the wheels then swap back when paul is sorted

just a thought as looking to but a set of trophy wheels so
could swap and cash

 

1 set of standard calipers
and could get 3 pepper pots if needed but need 2 tyres

I have two rear tyres I can donate if any use.

 

i have got three tyres 16", and standard bonnet catch and standard door catches , changed mine for chrome, standard stereo somewhere if needed

and Paul i dont think you have got a choice mate , the org is here to help :trophy:

Paul and Sharon

 

Getting it back from 'oop t'north' to 'darn sarf' for Paul to be able to work on it will cost an arm and a leg so I would forget it frankly. Also insurance will no doubt ask some really awkward questions as to why it was moved 300 miles.

Sorry, not trying to be negative, just realistic.

Just take the insurance money and move on.

 

The police arranged a tow to a local garage and then were calling Paul so he could arrange his own relay back home, he's got cover for this so it shouldnt cost him anything

 

:lol: already PM'd Paul earlier with a list of bits........ and Paul ... listen to Steve and shut the **** up :lol:

"i know if the insurance aren't bothered about it being orginal spec we can sort out the seats, door cards, exhaust, brakes, wheels, steering wheel, front bumper, rear lights, underfloor pipes, boot lid and probs any other bits ............. "

 

...have a pair of old style mg badges for front and back, a standard petrol cap ring, and standard boot L shaped thingies.

 

I haven't got a lot that's of much use - but if you need a garage to store bits in until your new one arrives - you're welcome to use mine

 

I don't really have much that hasn't already been offered, but having just done a bit of a service I have;

A set of well used brake discs & pads
Air filter
Battery - you might as well swap out an OK one for a duffer
Little bits of interior trim - handbrake gaiter, switches, clock, oil temp gauge - just in case Paul has changed to coloured leds and wants to keep them.
I also have the original stereo
Some original rear lights

Also, I'm not that far away from Paul so can offer sometime to help when the time comes.

 

set of 15" alloys with tyres, i'd gladly swap with cash.

 

join the que :rofl:

 

i have no parts that havent already been offered but what i will do is replace the snicker bar that copperknob stole

 

only thing ive got is a decent runway 215 40 16 if any good sitting in the garage doing nothing if needed ..

 

You're about an hour away from me so just give me a shout when you're getting anything done and I'll see if I'm free :broon: No stealing my a-pillar builds when I'm not looking though

 

It's threads like this that make me proud to be an MG owner.

EDIT: Scratch that, I do have something. An original CAT in the loft, if needed.

 

Hang on to it... I may need it in Jan for my MOT!!!

 

i'm changing my front calipers for AP ones any day can give the original to you
live in not too far from you paul can also offer a pair of hands if needed

 

all I have of any use would be , petrol cap surround and rear inserts which Mindy has already offered oh and a standard aerial, door strikers and radiator plate things

Oh and of course not a swap but daz has offered his services
