Datsuncog Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 ^^^ We can probably whittle it down by process of elimination... I didn't buy it either. Though not because I don't find it a very appealing little thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Maybe 320Touring? Surely not captain_70s?! Glad to hear its staying in the fold. Whoever bought it will need plenty of assistance and guidance. Especially on what and how to do the welding. Kiltox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsinthewelder Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I was very tempted to buy it back (£500 for all the work thats been done would be a massive bargain) but I still don't have a garage and currently have negative amounts of spare time.

SiC Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 My guess is the skipper of HMS Faeces AICMFPOi! That's not a nice thing to say about my car. It's Harvest Gold I'll have you know. If you have poo that colour, you're Type 7 on the (coincidentally named) Bristol Poo scale and need to get medical assistance. My choice of colour car is in no way related to the fact that I live in Bristol either. However, at least you didn't remind me that it's Maggie Thatcher's car. That's just plain nasty. egg and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 So I couldn't contain my excitement any further and had to say. I'm really looking forward to getting this! This will be my first proper restoration project. Also my first welding on a car. Nor have I learnt to weld yet and the welder I plan to use is still in bits on my garage floor. The only progress to that goal is me collecting scrap to practice on (no, thats not my MGB). I'm hoping also to restore this with my other half. She's big into crafting/sowing/etc, so my plan is to let her go wild fixing up the interior. I don't expect this ever to be a show winner and I don't think it ever wants to be. Feels like that mongrel that everyone loves at a dog show. I'll certainly need plenty of help and guidance getting this back on the road however! I'm now just trying to hurry the in-laws to take the Civic that's sitting in my garage sooner. Once that's out of the way, the MGB can live up there. This leaves my drive for working on. oldcars, Conrad D. Conelrad, egg and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Feels like that mongrel that everyone loves at a dog show. Or the airbrushed MR2 and/or Escort cabriolet at Chumley. sporty-shite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Writing a post bitterly complaining about the cost of running multiple unreliable cars and then writing another post a couple of days later about buying a rusty, un-MOT'd Austin 1100.
