Something to bear in mind is that the car will have been actively played with by a number of people in the factory and so it will feature a good few things here and there throughout the production life of the R40. There is a bit of history I left with the car that give some details about its life. Mileage is definitely 100,000+, we'll know more when the leccy bits start working again.

Thanks Pete. Isn't Arran white the same as Dover white? I thought Dover white was the name used in the British market and Arran white was used abroad? Or is it the other way round?

The area of Longbridge where this car was loaded on to the trailer is where i used to park when working nights and to get to our paintshop i used the small door next to where 'reserved' is written on the wall.

Pete, if you have no headlamps in stock for the project, I can swap them for you for a lovely set of OE ones

MG badge on top of boot lid, I think came off a lorry. Its huuuuuuge,when did MGR make trucks

I did however, take some parts (shhhh Pete ) to the paint shop today and mentioned this project. No problems there but assesment will need to be made nearer the time.

Plan for tomorrow is to see if we can actually get her fired up and swap over the nsf rim. make it easier to shift it about while work is being done.

Maybe thinking too far ahead, but may I start the "wish list" of parts needed ?
These are just the obvious bits to start collating, we can add to this post where needs be :

Front bumper assembly
Rear boot lid plinth
Interior light pod
Pedal rubbers
Bonnet sound deadening
Pair of headlamps
OSR door sill button / rod
nsr door chrome coachline
Service kit once the engine has been classed as servicable
4 wheels, tyres, wheel trims
Pair wiper blades
spare wheel and tool kit
IPK

Pete and I have a plan, so this may change over next weekend.

I have some bits you can have Pete.
The Huge rear MG badge is a Facelift MG ZR Boot badge. Yes I know I am sad

It does have a small crack needing repair. I can take pics of crack if req'd.

I love the idea of 17" alloys on one side and 18" on the other..

Wonder how it drove..

Great to have the car and experts like Lates working on it..

Surely either Foam or Space-saver would have been the order of the Day then?

What sort of IPK?
Message Centre or the Basic one, Yellow or White lighting?
