[POMPSKI]

Any pictures of the Dash & Alacantra?

[Skillen]

Ahh, man! so much I'd like!
I'll PM with the basics first off :D
Shame to see this happen though.

[MG.DAN]

How much for the avos mate?

[Nobrainer]

Will sort pics on Friday as too ark when I get in from work.
Also have sheddist for sale

[MG ZS STE]

Price on the alcantara and short shifter please, I'm right theses are for a hatch ain't I not a saloon.

[Nobrainer]

Need offers from people please as I don't know what parts are worth and can't afford to undersell or rip anyone off.
Avos need to come off and be examined as car took big hit to front nearside. They will also be the last thing to come off as I can't move the car without them!

[Nobrainer]

Yep hatch

[M17TT180]

Got a pic of the shell?

[MG ZS STE]

I guess they would be collection only or would you be able to send?

[lukenobrains]

Pmd you... also add braided lines to my list please...
cheers lol

[stamford]

pm'd you ref cams and verniers.

[sneekyparrot]

what gauges are they oil / water etc?

thx

[chris01]

How much for the decat mate? Plus p+p if possible?

[redzed]

price on ecu please and janspeed manis

[Nobrainer]

Please make me an offer!

[redzed]

and inner wing please i can come and remove the bits too if it helps

[POMPSKI]

I made you a few offers just awaiting a reply :)

[Nobrainer]

Thanks for all the interest guys. I've updated the first post with some prices of new items where available. Obviously I don't expect to get that but hopefully it will give some idea of where to place a price/offer. Tell me what its worth to you though. If I haven't pm,d you back its because I'm still pondering your offer.
Thanks

[Mat C]

Still interested in Avos

[ZRed]

Sorry, but I think you`re gonna have to list prices mate. I as many have an interest, but this isn`t a silent auction. I appreciate you may not know what things are worth, but you put what you want and folk will soon bid you if it`s too much.
If you were selling a car, you wouldn`t list what it cost new, it would be what you wanted.

[Mat C]

Agreed, i want parts but i want the seller to tell me what i've got to pay - i'm afraid that's how selling works!!

[Nobrainer]

Put some pics up.

Goldie. Your probably right but as I have no where to start I cant do that and if I was selling a car it would be relatively easy to get an idea what it was worth. If I don't get any offers (or what I think is reasonable) I'll put it on ebay.

Edit: Also people dont try to barter if I put a high price on, they just abuse the poster as taking the ****...as shown in a recent sheddist kit sale.

[MG ZS STE]

I've updated the first post with some prices of new items

Edit: Also people dont try to barter if I put a high price on,

I'm really confused, do you want us to make offers?

[Skillen]

I'm really confused, do you want us to make offers?

No he was just meaning in general people don't offer if there is a high price they just slag it off.
But that price was no offers at all so people didn't offer.

[POMPSKI]

Well please let me know if any of my offers were good enough as I said I could pick up on sunday, and sunday is rapidly approaching!

[ZRed]

Pm me what you want for complete car

[ZRed]

Sorry James, just seen the pics. Already broken. I may have a home for the box, possibly, cams and flywheel. Gimme prices and ill let the guys know. Cheers

[Nobrainer]

Have started putting stuff on eBay. Links to come.

[Nobrainer]

I've put some stuff on ebay and some pics of the dash up
ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/mono345/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686)

[Nobrainer]

Interior, gauges etc finishing within the hour. Get your bids in :-)

[lukenobrains]

Did it have heated seats? If so how much for switches, relays and heater elements??

thanks

[Nobrainer]

No, sorry. Seats went for a bargain.

[lukenobrains]

Saw that the seats went cheap. But thought you might have had the switches and relays still if it had heated seats to begin with! Oh wel..

[Taphouse]

Missed the gauges!! Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!! So so cheap! :-(

[Chaz]

Rear braces sold?

If not can you send me pics please!

[Nobrainer]

Braces still on the car. Sort something out tomorow

[Nobrainer]

Have photos. Pm me an email address.

[Nobrainer]

Anybody want any bodywork before the car goes? Collection only.

[rich12345]

Hi how much would you want for the passenger side two doors?

thanks :)

Also whats the paint code?

[Nobrainer]

£25 for the two. Includes the mirrors but there are no door cards.
I think its Solar red but can check if you want.

[tb steve]

im in need of a 17 inch straight if you have one ????(with tyre even better )

[ZS180V6]

What's left ?

[stamford]

Good question, items I enquired about were never answered.

[andys1981]

Good question, items I enquired about were never answered.

+1

[sneekyparrot]

Be interested in what poly bushes you have ie: arbs / rear arms etc??

[Nobrainer]

The shell has now gone, making my wife very happy. Bits left are:
Doors (with mirrors, no door cards though)
Shocks
Some polybushes
Rear braces (lower brace doesnt have the mounts though)
Flock dash
Brakes (calipers discs and pads)
Braided Goodridge hoses
2 rear bumpers (not sure about condition, I'll clean them up and have a look if anyones interested)
Set of mk1 straights, need to check condition and tyres
Probably some other bits as well.

I did say about putting various bits up on ebay, any decent offers got the goods and some stuff went dirt cheap.

[stamford]

Sorry but I cannot stay quiet on this thread anymore.

All well and good coming back now but there were certain items enquired about that I never found on ebay so assumed you still had them and now apparently not.

How many members enquired and actually got anything?

I made an initial bid to test the water and got nothing back apart from it'll now go on ebay, guess what? it didn't! so didn't even get the chance to bid up to a price that suited both parties.

I have found this whole thread to be a waste of time. If you are going to offer parts to members be more proactive in communication, be honest and put up prices so members know where they stand.

In future I may only consider ads posted with prices otherwise it becomes a bun fight.

[ZRed]

I've dealt with OP in the past with regards to parts and never had a problem. That said, I'm in same boat as Stamford. Very frustrating. I for one am all for, sale posts with prices.

[Mark S]

I told a chap/friend about parts for sale from this car (he is not on the forum) and he bought the engine, box, flywheel, short shift and perhaps even other bits without an issue.

I am not siding either way, I know how difficult it is selling MG stuff as some people want the items for 50p which makes the selling process very frustrating, I also know as a buyer that if you want something bad you have to pay the price or risk losing it, although it is very satisfying when you do grab a bargain.

[Skillen]

I did enquire about the box, sheddist and flywheel and the cams, verniers and the manifolds. As part of two "sets". Didn't get a reply so assumed he'd had better offers.

Im still looking for the stuff now as they don't come up often lol!

Pete posted about sheddist kits. He's making them now and selling for £150. Contact via XPF.

I have all apart from cams/verniers.

[Skillen]

I have all apart from cams/verniers.

Cars off the road at the minute due to getting into an argument with a flood puddle so after getting it sorted and after a payday ill hit you up.
I reckon my cambelt will have to wait till the cams are available.

[Mark S]

why not regrind std cams (which don't snap their lobes like piper blanks do)?
I have a set somewhere I lent out for a friend to get reground, but he bought an engine with pipers so I doubt he'll need them anymore, they may be of use for re-grinding.

[Nobrainer]

Fact is I wanted rid of parts with as little grief as possible, for as much money as possible, while giving the members of this site first option. Those that made me a decent offer got what they wanted. Some stuff went on ebay and went cheap. Ive got some time on Friday to dig through and see what exactly I have left if people are interested. The shocks, I did promise to someone, just got to remember who it was :-(

[Skillen]

Fair do's if you got it all sold without stripping too much from engine.
It's far less hassle

Re:cam reprofiling. What can equivalent can they be profiled to?
Is it an expensive option and would I just use the standard pulleys?

much much cheaper than new pipers and they reprofile to the same 270 as the new ones, piper re-profile them.
you can not got piper pulleys new anymore unless you order 5 sets.

[Nobrainer]

Doors for free if anyone is interested. Collectin only from Totton, Southampton.

[peterzs]

Good offer.

[Captain Peanut]

Have you still got the brakes and hoses?

[Nobrainer]

Hi, yes. Hoses are a bit duff though. They are Good ridge hoses, but fronts were a little long and have rubbed through the plastic (braid is fine). Rears, I had to cut off so have a bit of pipe seized on. (My ancient vice broke trying to get them off). Calipers were all fine when the car stopped. Discs and pads were good too.

[Nobrainer]

Doors are now on eBay for 99p. If they don't go, they're going down the tip.

[shawny]

how much for braided brake hoses ?

[pucc]

Do you still have the air intake pipe?

[pucc]

Hello?

[Nobrainer]

Hi, no that's gone.

[Nobrainer]

Doors going down the tip this afternoon. Shame, there's nothing wrong with them.

Sorry, missed this. Hoses gone.
