MG
The Classic Marque

Bruce,

I would love a set of Vredensteins, but heres the reality ...

Remove the light lens and disconnect at the lamp, tie a piece of string to the wires, pull back through the wing/fender and untie the string and tape it in place inside the headlamp shell.

Repeat on the other side.

Make sure you have soaked the nuts on the underside of the headlamp bracket before you try to undo them and do not force them. If they are stubborn, c...

I am just glad the name MG is surviving. Even if they are nothing related to what we have. Keeping the name alive helps us with people who have no clue what an MG is.

"My friend" will be tak...

I had a 'friend' who generously offered to help this very attractive single woman change the oil on her car (Datsun?).
