yep, no two ways now; got to do the foul deed. would like to add pix but complete operator ineptitude gets in the way of that. How do we add Pix to a post?
Meanwhile the car is as described variously in preceding posts; a basket-case 1400 Avonbar gold/mk3 coupe with excellent opportunity for garage time to the lucky new keeper. Only those at an open-ended loose end need apply.
It's c. 50 000mi old, comes with an unused maniflow exhaust & lcb, an unused rc40 exhaust, a gash random exhaust, a set of minilitealikes and a set of turbo rims neither of which have tyres that are worth inflating, a heated screen, all fixed and sliding glass bar driver's door (which has sliding perspex), at least some of the trim but no seats thanks to the local rodent population, a box of trivial parts bought in the first flush of passion, rebuilt HIF44, replacement inlet manifold (has combined cast-iron Metro inlet and exhaust manifold set; that's the shopping version, not MG) has aluminium rocker-cover; those were worth 5hp on their own in the 1980s, another steering column, a battery and a big battery, cables to relocate the battery to the rear, carpets that might fit or might be a complete blind alley, door casings that want retrim; it also has the usual plastic bag of documentation showing preceding guardians, past MoT certificates, owner's stuff, alarm instructions and I don't know what all. and anything else I can dig up that might be cluttering the garage and has a BL relation.
It has MG Metro 4pot calipers and vented discs; it has drum rears in apparently acceptable condition; all dry. It has cast-in-spacer drums, as it should.
It doesn't have a diffuser; it doesn't have an MG air cleaner ( I have the common or garden item, unmodified); it doesn't have a short amount of work to complete. It is alleged mechanically sound but needs replaced discs and pads at least; I'll throw those in.
It's currently in rubbish primer; it actually wants complete paint.
attempts to insert pix have all bombed. How is that done, actually?
PM me for pix; put email address in the PM.
regards as always
