MGF Subframe Replacement
Kevin trailoured down his fab MGF Trophy to us last Saturday from Northumberland, as it was in need of some ‘TLC’ following the last MOT that he had done, which showed up quite a few fails…
Already being a day behind on poor Jim’s TF (see previous post) we cracked on with the Trophy on Friday afternoon…
Front subframe dropped, and all ancillaries removed and replaced with new on to a galvanized subframe. New front lower arms fitted, stainless steel subframe mounts fitted, anti-roll bar and brackets fitted with new bushes. Not a bad afternoons work and something of a contrast to the last one, especially as this was fitted in around the other work.
This morning found us fitting the galvanized front subframe back in. Spheres filled back up, new brake pads and discs fitted, rear subframe cleaned up, rust proofed and coated. Wheel arch liners cleaned up and refitted. Lots of other things sorted that we don’t even charge for, that’s just what we do.
Might not be colour coordinated parts underneath the car that no one ever sees and they soon get covered in grime, but actually make sure the car is sound and we do “a proper job”.
We can do pretty colours if that’s what people want. I personally want one of my cars doing in pink glitter above and below! (I’m not joking). 😄
So, this one’s done and what a contrast to the TF in the amount of work. We always say these cars vary so much and you can’t see what lies beneath. No glamour shots on this one. MOT booked for next Saturday when we’re back there. So just the true nitty gritty ones!
A good one to do as it is a great looking car, will get some pics when we can of her looking good in some sun hopefully and look forward to her being reunited with her lovely owner Kevin. ☺️ 💛 – https://ift.tt/DxVPEr4
