Hi everyone.
Not content with 4 long years restoring my mini cooper mpi (nearly finished), I decided to pick up another small'ish project for the winter. It is a 2003 MG TF 1.6 that requires a bit of work to get it back up to a good standard. These share a lot of the same parts as my MPI so I know what I am taking on, certainly where the ECU/fueling etc.. is concerned and I have previously owned a 1.8 VVC MGF that I blew the head gasket on.
This car has had loads spent on it recently including re-conditioned head, reinforced head gasket, starter motor, clutch, radiator pipes but unfortunately the previous owner did not renew the water pump when the head gasket was replaced. It is now leaking and requires a strip down and cambelt off to replace the pump. Fortunate for me as it was very very cheap at £300 and it's road legal although MOT is due and tax can't be transferred now.
The keen eyed amongst you might have noticed the odd rear wheel which is a later square spoke where as the other 3 are round minilight style. I will probably source a matching round spoke or change all the wheels but haven't decided yet. It's not a top priority.
Work to do;
1. Replace water pump / cambelt
2. Replace rear windscreen - has a tear but hood is in excellent condition
3. Strip and clean interior
4. Respray Front and rear bumpers - paint flakey from previous accident damage repairs.
5. Replace offside rear wheel
Cheers for looking
Luke.
