Hi all

The saga contuines, but I am getting there, sun roof has got to come out as a runner was damaged in the roll, it looked OK but jams when sliding back, two steps forwards , one back, nearly burnt out the motor, it keeps on going untill it done the right numbers of turns to open the sun roof, did not blow the fuse, but smoking well, but still works!!!, but have a spare anyway.
After seeing some stainless grill conversions on the forum, I now have my version fitted, its the original MK1 grill fitted into the facelift bumper with aftermarket stainless grill below and I have also opened the brake duct side vents and fitted stainless grill as well ( not that air gets to the brakes)

Also you can see the EBC disc all new and shinney.

Going to Exective motoring services, MGR.com next week to see if they can reset the ECU's and get it running, The MG club magazine want to do an article about the car too, fame at last !

Looks like it might get finshed soon
