I'm here (home) now. I left work early (just before your post) and have only just come back on-line.

Have to say, I don't like the seats. The suspension could do with being dropped a bit. The crack across the front of the bumper worries me a bit - has the front been hit?

Blimey dude I thought you was having an early night! :sad:

Sod the seats Ralph........they will be going on ebay along with the rest of the interior......I was gonna strip the lot out ready for track.

Hmmm......there isn't anything behind that bumper is there??

What do you think? couldn't watch it for me could ya?

If anyone spots an MGF that is looking neat and tidy paintwork wise but with a scruffy interior and/or dead engine going cheap (approx £500) let me know.....

If you can take pictures of the car that would be good too :) I have a side project in mind. If someone offers me very good money for my ZS I may be tempted to sell it :D

I think it's a matter of 'when' now rather than 'if'. I have a soft spot for the MGF and have done since I bought my ZS. Sure my ZS is blindingly quick with the few mods it has on it as has been proven up against Ralph's ZS180 and Murray's ZS180 but I need to satisfy my itch and get an MGF as an out and out track day car even though I will have no seats in the car because I don't fit properly :rofl: Dunno what to say really.....you all think I am mad I guess.

Lots of thoughts on what to do at the minute......try swapping my car for someones MGF or sell my car then look for an MGF. Thing is......I can't afford to run two cars......we shall see.

Please accept my appologies. Next time you split up I promise not to take you around the track in one of my cars ;)

The cheapest decent F I've found so far is £1,795.

BTW If anyone thinks the F is a hair dresser's car I am prepared to take them for a passenger ride at any track day that I'm on to disprove this! :rb::excl:

So you should be bud! Now I want an MGF in compensation for getting me all excited :whistle:

Mmmm I have been looking on ebay tonight and I am wondering whether I should be looking in the FreeAds......

I strongly advise peeps NOT to go in the F..........main reason......ITS MY TURN AGAIN :mml:

I am intending on ripping out all the interior anyway to make it lighter. By the time I have sold the interior and all the other bits I don't need I reckon I would have some more cash in my pocket for tuning.

In theory.......buying the MGF Trophy 160 it already has the good bits on it so there won't be lots for me to do to it really.

Here is what I am thinking :D

What a beast eh! Supercharger on and there we go 200bhp mid engine RWD........only another £6000 on top of that £1000 and I got myself a right little raver :D

That looks quite good. Nice early one (avoid cars built in 97 - 98 if possible). Long way to go, though.
Boot Hill Bandit
21-01-08, 05:47 PM
Yeah :sad: I need to go rob a bank really.

Other than that.........sneak into the bank and take out some cash from my savings account and don't tell my folks I have bought another car :whistle: I would need to SORN it though and hide it somewhere :devil:

By the time I have stripped it and fiddled with it I reckon it would be very good fun! :D All that would be needed would be a big brake conversion and some head work on the engine......oh sod it.

Here........have my credit card again :laugh:

It's only been listed so i'd say it will go up a fair bit too. What i would say though is resist bidding until as late as possible so as not to generate interest and they put only your max bid. ;)
Boot Hill Bandit
23-01-08, 10:52 PM
Trying to build up a car from a bare shell is nuts! I would do it if I had another MGF donating its organs and some panels but to build that up but I haven't got another F.

I will keep an eye on the green one......and if it doesn't go up much I may go to the bank pronto! :laugh:

I'm not in a position to be spending money really......but I need to look now in case I miss a bargain that won't come up very often.

Thats worth £1000 easy if there is nothing else wrong with it :) By the time it's repaired it will be worth £2500+

I'd sooner strip the interior out, replace the glass with perspex etc........and make some money that way. Ideally I could do with paying £600 and thats it though.

I got mine off pistonheads.
VVC, Flame red 82k miles full service history, recent HG and belt change at MGR garage, P reg, 2 owners from new, New battery, tyres.

Needed a shocker and caliper sticking for mot (but nothing wrong with it!!!!).
£950

I have spent a few quid on it, but its a bloody tidy car now with quite a few mods :)
Quick little beast and i have had a couple of sideways moments that have made me laugh. Great fun!!!!
Boot Hill Bandit
17-02-08, 10:49 PM
Yep £1000 tops for me.............BUT........

Ralph has told me NO as have a few other forum members.......so the F is gonna have to wait.......I have a ZS180 requiring a stupid long list of mods now.

Thanks for everyone looking for me.........but I am keeping my ZS and forgeting the F for now.
