The good thing is that MG Rover in their wisdom had the bumpers marked when moulded which made cutting out really easy. They show the centre of the circle and the centres for notches





I then used a cone cutter to cut out to the 27.5 diameter circle and trial fitted each finisher in their own position



Next I sprayed the sensors to match the bumper





and then once dry fitted them to the bumper holes



Whilst the bumper was off the car I decided to prep it by fitting the twin exhaust outlet. I am very lucky to have a correct V8 \mk1 drivers side trim so it was down to a lot of marking out (once , twice and three times to make sure the positioning was right) and then cut the bumper and fit the trim



All I had to do then was fit the loom to the sensors. These clips were really tight



Now the bumper was finished I went back to the car and gave all the metal a good clean down and a coat of wax. Yep I know you wont see it but it gives the metal a but of protection under the bumper





Now for replacing the beam and the re worked bumper



and I am happy with the finish on the sensors they seem to match the bumper quite well



Next step was back to the boot and to clean the carpet and side panels. Wow the carpet was dirty I had to clean it twice




Once all cleaned it was time to rebuild the boot and the finish cameup really well even if I do say so myself. I will probably make a new board for on top of the wheel as this one is a bit warped but as it was not water damaged I decided to leave it







The rear end with the additional exhaust trim fitted in readiness for the twin exhaust



The sensors are all working but there is no buzzer at the moment. I just need to find out which buzzer I am going to use from the other car. Either from the IPK or parcel shelf. I cant remember where the buzzer was coming from when I drove the car last

Next step is the wobbly boot hinges and then the rear window trim (which i am not looking forward too )

Nice work

Default Excellent Work

Excellent work.

Watching this with interest as my registration is BU51OZV - comm 472.

Great photos of the sensors, added to my huge 2Do list!


Keep up the great work.

Agree with the above comments, superb work there Jon

Looking at how clean the shell is, it's such a shame to think that this one might of been scrapped...

Regards the reversing buzzer, didn't the Mk1 cars use the parcel shelf one, whilst face-lift used the IPK ?

Thanks to all for your kind words. As Paul knows I wanted a project and after the disappointment of the blue one this kind of makes up for it.

Paul is that the case about the mk1 and mk2 buzzer? I was not so sure because this car has the basic ipk but the blue one has the message ipk so I wasnt 100% sure. As I cant remember I thought I would remove the IPK from the blue one and look for a buzzer before attempting to strip out the back and go hunting in the parcel shelf

I am going to send the message ipk to klarzy to repair the lines and virginalise it so it was coming out anyway

I can't say for certain Jon, but it's in the back of my mind from when I re-soldered the IPK buzzer on Oxfordblue's facelift 75.

His buzzer wasn't working (although he has factory reverse sensors), I know he looked into this and I had it in my head that this was the case - however I may have dreamt it !!!

Might be worth a post in the technical section, just for confirmation ?

Cheers Paul and Oxford.

I will take the IPK out and see if there is a buzzer as in the photo. If not it must be in the parcel shelf
