Depends how my welding turns out I may or may not post some pics, it's been a long time since I did any thin stuff.

If you've been re-reading "george B"s threads you should be able to crack on with some 1.6 rods and get it back together in no time.

Made a little more progress today.
Changed lots of rusty, shrunken-headed old bolts and screws for shiny new ones, replaced the NSR brake pipe, did a full brake fluid flush, changed the perished anti-roll bar drop links and undid the perished front subframe rearmost mounts ready to be changed tomorrow.

Wheres the straw come from?

There’s a bank between my drive and the field behind our house, one of my neighbours went down our access lane with his tractor and cut it. Sodding wind is blowing it all onto my driveway

 

[Wozzaaah]

New subframe mounts fitted plus drilled out and replaced a broken screw holding the front mount on which appears to have been missed on the mot.
Other than being perished, the mounts were still intact so they may have been ok but I decided for what they cost I may as well replace them.

@Wozzaaah I saw a MG on my ride today and thought it might be you so slowed down for a look, are you a MILF age female with blond hair?

Probably not ,but no doubt he could be if the price was right.

The TF went to solid mounts..

 

[Wozzaaah]

Today’s “little” job.
I’d already made sure all the main nuts and bolts would come apart but it still took far too long as all the bolts holding the mountings on were seized solid and the heads were totally gone.
The heat shield also broke too, so I had to improvise a new way of securing it.

Always thought the best thing you could do with a MGF, was stick the engine and box in the back of a Metro.......

No it's just been an idea since seeing one in a scrapyard and thinking that rear subframe would fit in the back of my old metro.
and the hankering to own a 6R4.
