I’m talking about the original MG, not its chinky incarnation

>>28527338 (OP)
Funny small car but not particularly relevant to most

>>28527368
I want a MG ZT-T 260, I just don't have the space for one. The last dying gasp of a British marque that was full of proper brit jank, brilliant.

Pic

My dad had an A, a B and a Midget. Sometimes one of them worked.

>>28527338 (OP)
Big fan of the cheap parts

>>28527338 (OP)
So far I fuckin' love 'em. Honestly shocked at how easy it is to find parts, and like >>28527792 says, how cheap those parts are. The workshop manual is also extremely useful and readily available, which is always a nice bonus.

What MG do *you* have?

>>28527792
Cars always looks so sad without their headlights... How long has that been laid up?

>>28527831
>What MG do *you* have?
1980 B

Anything prior to 70's ugly ass safety bumper era is cool.

>>28527831
It was sat for 12 years until I bought it, previous owner only dismanted the brakes, carbs and interior in that time. Zero rust and very cheap so it was rude not to

how's the electricals? living up to the bong/lucas wiring meme?

>>28527909
I made my own custom wiring, since the original harness is unbelievably simple. Grab some wires and relays and you’ll be good to go. Oh and fuses too.

I've often wondered if some classic MG owners get seethingly mad over nu-MG, and how this China slop is what a lot of people immediately think of when the brand "MG" is mentioned in the current year.

>>28527916
This is only a europoor problem. The new ones aren’t in America so if there person even has the conception of what an “Emm Gee” is, it’ll be a B.

>>28527368
Most of /o/ isn't old enough to remember when England had a car industry.
Nobody on /o/ is old enough to remember when England's car industry wasn't a joke.

>>28527926
It was always a joke

>>28527837
Still rubber bumper? If so, any plans to convert?

>>28527859
Fair, sounds like an ideal project, hope all goes well for you. Are you planning on keeping it rubber?

>>28527909
Wiring is an absolute nightmare to look at, owing to the multiple modifications it has had over the years from the previous owners, but otherwise my experience has been without significant issue. My car was dormant for quite a few months prior to my purchase, so the fuel pump needed a couple whacks every now and then to keep going, and a single spade terminal needed a small wiggle to get the fuel gauge, tach, and indicators working, but had no issues at all since she's been seeing regular use.

>>28527916
I couldn't care less about nu-MGs themselves, but I often wonder if the people driving nu-MGs associate themselves with old MGs, despite having literally nothing but a badge in common with them. I also wonder how many boomers buy nu-MGs just becuase it says "MG" on the badge. A lot of them are surprised when I tell them they're entirely Chinese.

>>28527338 (OP)
I need to get a midget at some point.

>>28527990
> Still rubber bumper? If so, any plans to convert?
Unfortunately still is. But i’m currently collecting the individual parts as I see them come up on FBM to convert it. I’m also in the midst of an engine rebuild. Otherwise pretty good, body is perfect, rebuilt the wiring and recently got an OD unit and the synchros redone.

>>28527990
>A lot of them are surprised when I tell them they're entirely Chinese.
Makes sense, seeing how they've surrendered the country entirely to BAMEs.

Here's my 1962 MGA.

>>28528085
Nice, at least you're making headway. Is the bodywork original, or has it been welded in past? Any full body pics?

>>28528275
Very pretty. Don't really see that many of them anymore.

>>28527338 (OP)
>What does /o/ think of MG?
A once-proud brand of British sports cars bought and traduced by the Chinese.

At one point they even tried to claim MG stood for "Modern Gentleman".

>>28527990
Made me laugh looking at the MG site one time, and it's something like "celebrating 100 years of MG" or however old they are, and to top it off there's a photoshoot of some old MG convertibles through the decades along with the new Cybster, like lol lmao

>>28528591
>Nice, at least you're making headway. Is the bodywork original, or has it been welded in past? Any full body pics
Original body, although it had been stripped down, sand blasted and rotisserie painted. Not a spec of rust, bondo or anything else. Pic related was a decade ago when it was done. I’d post a current picture but there’s a few IRL people I know that browse this board as well that i’d rather not have know that I post here lol, OP picture is the best i’ll do.

>>28528673
[spoiler]I don't hate the Cybster though[/spoiler]
Also I only just realised it's called the Cyberster and not the Cybster. Like, Cybster is a better name, right?

Oh yeah, and can't forget that [spoiler]spoilers don't work on /o/[/spoiler]

one of the few sparingly non wrenchlet threads on /o/. and all for an ancient british roadster

>>28528775
To be fair, they did coupes too

Quick quiz (no Googling now)

What does 'MG' stand for

>>28528828
Back in their heyday they also did saloons

>>28528275
Beautiful car anon, hope you drive it around sometimes

I don't think about chink cars.

>>28528841
Morris Garage or Ming Gong in modern era.

>>28528692
Oh no a white MG, whatever will we do with that information

old ones are shitty, niu-mg is chinky shit... I live in beaner land and we had beaners closing the streets protesting their MGs tranny/engine broke with 60k kilometers and they were not covered under warranty.

>be mexislut
>buy brand new unused mchinker's garage luxury suv

Oh, so close; but no coconut. To be absolutely pedantic it was Morris Garages

How was the test drive?

>>28529263
Uhhh... Anon do you live in my walls? FBI kun perhaps? No? Haha.

>>28527338 (OP)
Once meh brand that got taken over by the Chinese in order to get that sweet, sweet meh clout in unsuspecting markets and costumers.

>>28528692
You teasing fuck. Well, kudos for getting such a good one, bodywork is always the biggest hurdle. Especially nice that it was fully stripped and not just masked up.

>>28528775
Huh. I always thought is was "Morris Group". The more you know, I guess.

>>28529219
I’ve changed the interior, rims and more so it’s quite a bit more distinctive than any random white MGB. All tasteful, basically just making it a pre-rubber bumper model.

>>28527780
Sweet. You could never describe a British MG as a white good.
