possibly - but how well have all those panels been put on and are they hiding more serious damage?

seems a bit pricey to me too

Why rebody an MG? Would it not be easier/cheaper to put a decent engine in a rover?





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Those are most likely anti vibration pads stuck in there from new, it looks like he's just painted the bits you can see when the carpet is in. 03 cars fetch about £1500 upwards so it might be worth a punt if you want to keep it.

surely if it was stripped and sopld as parts it would fetch over £500!
how much would the engine and gearbox be worth,assuming its in sound condition?
