One simple way to improve the ride of the replicar is the check the air pressure in the tires. Because of the lack of weight (especially in the front end) I run 17 lbs. in the front tires, and 22 lbs. in the rear tires on mine. b.t.w. you stole that car at that price. (just sayin')
That thing looks super roomie 🙂 you can take a trip all the way across the United States in that thing comfortably… LOL I'm 6-5 400 lb I'm cars definitely made for people like me.
………….please excuse me for my input here but what in the world would ever possess you to wanna buy an MG replica anyway, they always seemed like a makeshift kind of car to me, made from various parts or from a kit……… kinda on the cheap side. They just strike me as being a mish mash of a car……… and those VW taillights are a definite giveaway, my apologies. If you like the look of the MG then you should look into possibly hunting down an authentic one from a collector whose looking to sell, the kind with leather straps across the bonnet, real wire wheels and an authentic walnut dash and painted in british racing green. Granted, it wouldn't be cheap but it would be an investment, more than a replica would ever be and besides think of the fun you'd have tinkering around on that instead of one of these replicas. Just my two cents, is all. Always wishing you good luck on ANYTHING you do in that garage of yours. 🙂 Steve
Great stuff again. I like the MG replica especially because of the fact that it doesn't use a VW front head and axle. Unfortunately I'm too tall/big for these kind of cars.

$18,000 for that wannabe roadster kit pile of joke. I wouldnt give 10.00 for it unless i already had it sold for 20.00 bucks
That would be coil over shocks as apposed to spring over shocks, just saying.

Hmm my Fiberfab MG has a standard ball joint beam. I got a steal on mine and with a 1776 engine, the little booger scoots.
how much did the entire project cost?

@02grandprixgt thanks, I want to get it in the garage then up in the air, but for the most part is to clean it up and flip it,,,
