    Yep, if I can wind the clock back on her a bit I'm comfortable with that. I always regret that my EG ended up having scrapped, and don't want to end up having the same regret with tubs. And you're right about new cars... I've had loads of hire cars through work this year, and haven't really enjoyed any of them. No soul.

    It's my ball and I'm taking it home

    Finally got a date for the welding... 23rd October... Looks like a couple of weeks work Then it's back to fuel fixing, service, brake caliper refurbish, disks n pads, and back on the road, then to the body shop. Taking so long to get my baby sorted, and probably going to end up costing around what I paid for her 13 years ago

    I must admit, that had me bamboozled in the early days

    Check out this how to... Especially the part about giving the hoses a squeeze. Check that both the top hose and bottom hose are both getting warm, if not there might be an air lock so giving them a squeeze can help To be honest, I've just done this from point 7 onwards and it's sorted it. 7 years ago... Jeez...

    Can't remember if I saw this here in the first place, but just came across it in my favourites on my phone and thought I'd share it coz it's pretty cool https://www.motor1.com/news/268425/honda-civic-history-slideshow/

    Yep, and be without the old girl for longer Will make things more tricky then I am... I keep questioning whether it's worth it, but to be honest I can't be bothered with starting the journey on another car, as tubs was pretty much set up how I like it, and there's been too many folk on here over the years who've moved on from an M and regretted it afterwards. I've already got the parts I need to sort her out, just need to get the work done. It's turning into more of a restoration now though than a repair.

    Also, a bolt sheared when he was trying to drop the sub frame to fit the fuel line. Does anyone know if the nuts for the bolts are captive?

    This is getting more complicated, looks like it's going to be welding before fuel tank and pipes due to the fact that the tank will have to come back out for the welding anyway.

    That's going to sound lively! Think that a wee video would be in order

    She's looking ace in those night shots

    Good stuff

    The guy who works on my car used to work at honda, and his mate has a body shop, but he used to work at honda as well. He was telling me once that the m's had a recall because they didn't have enough rust protection in them. Apparently they pumped loads of waxoil into the rear arches. Maybe MG didn't make the same mistake.

    Hope so, it's been a struggle to try and get things organised for getting it off the drive. Still need to get the welding arranged, and it's mot time in a few weeks.

    I was even looking at MG doors at one stage - stupid prices of those on ebay though
  20. dr_broon
    That is a shame about the door.. Will it make painting it easier than another random colour? Good to have found a clean one though
  21. dr_broon
    Aye, both driver side doors are, but I've got a couple of clean replacements.
  22. dr_broon
    Good stuff. Tidy job on the bracket. You can almost smell that snow foam.
  23. dr_broon
    Well, been a while, but hopefully tomorrow is the day when tubs gets recovered to the garage to get my fuel stuff fixed - lines, filler hose, and tank replaced, and a service which will have to include some attention to the seized brakes. Once she's drivable again, it's off to the welders for a holiday to get some work done. I've found that both rear jack points are goosed, and there's a few spots underneath that need sorting, as well as a rear inner arch. I've got rear arch repair panels that need fitting, and two new front arches. Need to get my baby back sorted.
