While still waiting for the parts to arrive, I am by no means at a standstill. I have found a stash of miscellaneous parts that I worked on and placed away (and apparently forgot about) three years ago as I was organizing my workshop. What a pleasant surprise!
Some can be installed now and some will have to wait. Some will not fit the MG 1100 since they came off of the Austin America like the ones shown here. I would like to put some stuff up on eBay so I can make money to be able to pay for parts that I need.
I have been putting boxes of like parts together and organizing stuff to see what I am missing and to see what I have extras of. I will have to contact my “secret parts source” to see if he has the correct MG 1100 parts.
I managed to install a couple of things on the body like the hood bonnet stay/prop whatchamacallit thingy…
…and the bonnet locating plate cup and bonnet lock plate.
But…the bonnet lock plate does not fit. Come to find out, it is from the Austin America…the arm is too long and the wrong shape. See what I mean!!
For those of you who have sent e-mails with advice and encouragement, thank you so very much! I greatly appreciate it! Many folks have sent me stories of when they had their ADO16 cars and used to have fun and adventures driving around in them. I hope to have that kind of fun with mine someday. I really need advice on where to get parts, though.
Thank you for visiting.
Toddy
