Wow, After seeing what you can fix, maybe I should take all the damaged bits off and send them to you to fix and return :lol: No, just joking, I want to use the parts to convert my '74 VW Kombi, but the body is perfect, well except for the right hand guard and lower control arm and ball joint...

Is that what you wanted? T1 Terry

There is a rather humorous TV ad running at the moment regarding pool noodles being attached to the garage walls, hope you didn't pinch the kids pool noodles ....... or was that ad made at your place :lol: T1 Terry

Found a few photos of Kombi, the hopeful recipient of an MG4 transplant This was the "prize" kombi that won over the wife, I think this is around March 2005

Do you have a link? My inverter will provide 20 amps @ 230vac so if I can find a "granny" charger that can handle 20 amps, yet adjustable back down when I'm not at home, then I'll get one of those as I don't have a charger lead at all. T1 Terry

I worked in an Australian Ford dealership in the mid '70s as a mechanic back when the extended body Landau was still being sold new. They were basically 2 x two door falcon hardtop bodies cut and shut to make the longer body. All sorts of theories about body misalignment, tail shaft too long and...

I wonder how I'll go driving the Kombi into an MG dealer and asking them to do the updates ....... maybe this should have been posted in the funnies section :lol: T1 Terry

An oldie, but still good for a laugh

Had a quick look at the front bumper when I was up at the workshop yard, I'm guessing it is a complete replacement bumper from the dealer and it would require someone who was quite skilled in the repair department to remove the left hand side of the skirt through to the centre piece as the...

If you or someone you know are into DIY stuff, this You Tube video is a treasure chest of plastic repair techniques T1 Terry

It is the left hand side, the salvage MG4 I bought recently has the right hand side destroyed. Find out if that part is available from the dealer at a reasonable price, if it isn't, I'll have a look at how hard it will be to get that section off my vehicle and maybe we can come to some sort of...

Sorry, should have put up a link, I was in a rush because I had to get to the Adelaide AEVA meeting. https://www.mgevs.com/threads/anyone-know-where-i-can-get-a-workshop-manual-for-an-excite-64.15692/ The plan is to strip out everything, probably sell off the body parts from the MG4 and the...

Still have around 30 pages to read, so hopefully I'm not asking something that has already been answered. I bought a stat write off MG4 from Pickles Adelaide around a mth ago. I thought the odometer was saying 268km, but now it might have been the distance still remaining in the battery. No...

That was one of the harder things to get over. The only people who might have had a grudge against us actually owed us money, so unlikely they would do it, and they all need our ongoing assistance to maintain their systems. Just because the business is no more, doesn't mean we abandoned our...

I don't understand the Statutory write off v repairable write off rules in Australia. There was a 2023 model ZS with the sunroof up for salvage auction in Melbourne less than an hr ago. It has the same damage as my MG4, crumpled front, air bags gone off and seat belts locked, yet it was marked...
