Breaking a MG TF

[talkingcars]

I am about to break a 2002 MG TF 135, most parts are available - do you need anything?

[ZS]

Why you breaking it?

[ZS Phil]

What color is it?

[peterzs]

Poor TF.

I need a few million pound, but nothing off the car. My post is :spam: lol

[talkingcars]

Why you breaking it?

I am after the subframes and a few other bits for my F.

This particular car has a very sick engine, I suspect a valve or piston ring, it also needs an exhaust and a cat and much welding, both doors and the boot are dented and the roof has damage. The drivers seat has collapsed and it's done 100k.

What color is it?

Blue.

[M17TT180]

Front bumper.

Much much does a sick engine go for these days :)

[ZS Phil]

Which blue?

[talkingcars]

Front bumper.

They go on ebay from about £100 up.

Weighed in at my local scrap metal dealer, with the gearbox, it should be about £60 so I'd take that.

Which blue?

As soon as I've got the paint code I'll let you have it.

Most likely Crawley near Gatwick or possibly Horsham.

£50 collected.

Ok cool what's problem with engine then is it down on compression

[talkingcars]

It is probably head gasket as the header tank is empty, the oil creamy and the exhaust is smoking.

I have no idea how long it was run like this or if there is any further damage but I have heard the engine run for a few moments and it sounds normal.

It is only has scrap value to me so is sold as such.

[ZS Phil]

Thanks for the paint code, mine is jrj :(

Much nicer than trophy, sorry.

No that's fair enough I was after one to build up as a spare that was all so I'm happy with that just need to sort collection etc

[ZS Phil]

There is a part I need which isn't colour dependant, the black rubber part of the aerial base, the bit that sits against the rear wing. For some reason mine is missing, do you have it and will you sell it me?
Also, bit of a long shot but does it have front mud flaps?

[talkingcars]

It has the aerial so you can have the base but no mud flaps I'm afraid.

[ZS Phil]

Ok well I need the aerial part so PM me how much you want for it posted please. Also, does it have fog lights?

[talkingcars]

Will do once it's off, sorry, no fogs.

[ZS Phil]

Ok :)

[ZS Phil]

Any progress?

[talkingcars]

Any progress?

I made a start yesterday but have to be a little clever as I have to keep it looking normal as long as possible, I did look at the aerial but the whip is stuck and I only had limited tools.

Quick update (and bump).

I am only getting a couple of hours a month on this so it is slow progress.

So far I've almost stripped the interior.
