Day 3 of 6 – South Coast & some other places too…
We left our digs in Sarisbury, near Southampton this morning and headed over to Fareham, where it was really good to meet Mark. Having previously owned an MGBGT earlier in his life Mark fancied owning another MG and, after a search, found this one for sale on the Isle of Wight, a year 2000 MGF 1.8i (in paint code GUF), having previously been in the possession of one lady owner from new.
Today we carried out a full cambelt service, along with alternator belt, full coolant flush, new coolant cap and a couple of other bits sorted out for him.
He wants to bring it up to full spec, where possible, and asked if we’d give it a good inspection, we then discussed all the options for future work, such as brake upgrades, cold-air-induction etc. He’s done quite a lot of work on the car himself so far such as replacing the underfloor coolant pipes, swapping out the interior, fitting a snorkel and a few other things.
Thanks to Mark for the tea and offers of breakfast and lunch, plus it was lovely to have fusses with his very sweet woofer Snow. We look forward to our next visit.
We’re now a bit further east along the coast, in Worthing, for the evening. We had a short walk along the prom this evening hoping to have a cuppa on the pier, but unfortunately it was closed due to needing repair following the recent storms that have sadly given it a bit of a battering. Still it was a lovely sunset.
Hope you all have a good All Hallows’ Eve! 👻 🎃 – https://ift.tt/pRK3bCU
