Had to get the MG transported to DVLA for them to do a chassis/engine No. check, they rung me the next day with my Reg No. Woohoo.
Ordered a set of plates of ebay for less than a £10 delivered.

Brakes had surface rust on them as it's been stood so gave them a clean up as well as the caliper sliders especially the O/S rear 1 was a bit stiff.
MOT was a pass with advisory on Trailing arm bushes.

Booked in with my bodywork guy 2nd week in May for Bonnet and front bumper painting.

Lexus rear lights are gone stuck em on Ebay, 'buy it now' ?30, this was after I won a set of R45 for 99p each.:yes:

Next job will be sill covers off for rust prevention.


So......I got to drive it to the MOT station, and bearing in mind I've had 2 R400 SDi's which were standard boost with decat, all I can say it was much much faster.

Nice work, lovely colour...

Sun was shining so I got out the decent camera, Bonnet and bumper still to be painted and I need a driver side headlight.
Paying £130 for 12 months road tax feels really nice.:D

Looking good.

How much it setting you back to get the bonnet sprayed?

Not sure yet TBH, he'll look after me though.
It's gonna be Bonnet, grill, bumper and 4 civic door handles for when they break.
