    So not only do you have the only digidash car known to the club, you have a full spare digidash setup?

    If I didn't admit that impressed me, I'd be lying...


    (And maybe it's me, but I'd rather have that when it's finished to ANY Turbo...)

      Internal workings of seat belts that I modified.
      On the left is a front belt, on the right is a rear belt.
      Remove the screw on both belts, pull off the workings and attach to the other unit keeping the spring where it belongs and tighten the screw. Re-attach the cover and it works perfectly.

                        Too many
                        This one, my sons Turbo, though I am teaching Chris 'how to' on this, the C reg sheddy Turbo, but this is increasingly likely to be stripped and scrapped. Also after these I have my returned Turbo. This need a lot of welding that I can't do as yet.
                        This is without helping Jane and Malcolm with the putting together of their Montego VP as the bodywork and re-spray has been completed. I'm there all day friday to put the dash back in and finish anything else that's needed of me on the car.
                        I'm using my Turbo as a van at the mo as I can get loads in it but when the tax runs out I will be mothballing it for a year or so. I will be delivering 5 alloys wheels, set of VP centres and various other parts friday to Jane. I got 3 headlining biscuits in it last week from Mal's barn, delivered one to Carl and one to Rick, that was eventful.
                        So the GSi maybe back later in the year, haven't decided yet as it won't pass an mot till I change the exhaust.
                        Finding money to tax all of my cars, and the wifes MGTF is abit expensive and that doesn't include the running of my ZS180 and ZTcdti

                          Cleaning out one of my sheds todays to get to these.
                          Various small trim bits.
                          Rare front door trim clips that hold the door tray
                          Rear arch trims. New one donated by Richard (mgmonty&mgf) Ta Rich, old one was the last part needed to complete
                          Many many door clips. The first doorcard holding clips were glued to the doorcard and rather useless, the upgrade were these door clips.

                            More new parts
                            Unsure yet whether to convert the rear door windows to electric but I have both sides and plug-in looms
                            New front indicators. One from Andy, ta Andy, the other from MGMal
                            New dash surround from MGMal, ta Mal.
                            Andy is doing the welding for me on monday so that's taken care of.
                            Next thing after that is to clear the rust from the front panel and rustproof it ready for spraying.
                            Then the front inner wings etc before re-attaching the front wings.
                            The dash will then be removed and the front doors finally lined up as the nearside needs moving back about 3mm.
                            The engine/gearbox will then be removed once I have got my engine lift back from Mal's barn later in the year

                                Hi ,
                                I may not know much about cars, but computers i do. My copy of the legacy epc runs fine on Windows xp mode.

                                Throw your xp machine away an install Windows xp mode on your windows 7 box.
                                Then you have 1 computer that will run everything.

                                Its FREE....

                                "Do I need Windows XP Mode?
                                Windows 7 has several built-in tools to help with program compatibility and Windows XP programs should be installed directly on Windows 7. Windows XP Mode runs many older Windows XP productivity programs and that are not natively compatible with Windows 7, thus helping realize cost savings and reduce possible operational downtime by extending the life of existing software.
