Hi Brian.
How long do we keep working on these cars once they get to a stage that they need quite a lot of work, there are a lot of late 54/05/06 cars coming to the market now.

I sold my tourer a few years ago and kept my MGZT mainly because I had taken to it more than the tourer, but a few months back I found that the sills have given way to the dreaded rust, belts are due January, compressor needs changing, I can not get all my tool boxes etc in it as good as I did the tourer so my decision as been made I will not be doing any more work on it, and like you it as very good leather memory seats, excellent wheels with 6.5mm tyres all same make, runs perfect I just feel I have spent enough on it over the last 7 years so the time as come to remove the good parts which I can use for my next one.

I am sure you yourself will make the right decision, and you have enough cars round you that it is not your only drive, at least if you do keep it you will not have to lie on the cold floor now with your new lift Arctic.

PS forgot ABS light as come on so a new bearing & back plates needed as well, treated for the time being, even though I have the back plates and the bearings
