It's been sat in my Mum's garage for about 10 years....needs a bit of
TLC.....if I had any garage space, I'd have it myself.

Joe says:

I'd love too, however there are several problems

a)I know nothing about mechanics...electronics yes, stuff with moving parts...no
b)I have no tools, except ones useful for fixing electronics.
c)I have nowhere to store it/no money to buy parts.

one day though......maybe.

I know someone who would love to do that - but he's not seeing it - he's already got a mini on the go, then the camper van, then in the shadows there's a mini yak and some motorbikes! He'd probably drop everything for that MG!

Viv - what is a mine yak?

Joe - a Haynes manual will tell you everything you need to know. I cut my mechanical teeth on a Midget, and there aren't many better cars to do that on - no ECM, no electronics, just plain old British engineering.

Then again, I my Midget was probably the fastest and most permanent method of disposing of money I've ever seen. I sank thousands into it, and it ultimately just blew up on me. Your mum has an A-series engine though, which won't blow up like my shitty K-series did. Glorious cars to drive, and the chicks really dig convertible roadsters..
