hey guys my friend has a 1973 mgb that im trying to get ready to sell it for him to do a favor...however i want to slip in a few simple cosmetic type questions before i do something stupid...i currentley have a 53 land rover series I...so i do have a british car...but i am lacking in the MG department..lol...and i need some help from you MG guys....anyway i have a few questions...
1. the dash has a crack in it and some of it is flaking off in an area...what should i use to repair it..is there some sort of dash repair kit of sorts? or just dont bother touching it?
2. the indicator stalk/assembly is kid of floppy and does anyone now of a decent retailer for this part..i see it for like 100 bucks...silly question but also is it possible to fix? he has it rigged up with an elastic band.
3. the wheels have some rust on them..whats the best way to clean them....and get the rust off...i thought of wire wool?
4. the car is rust free..and the paint is not in that good shape...no flaking or anything but it would be nice to get some of lustre back....i think its kind of past waxing so i think maybe il just give it a handwash
5. whats a good asking price for a 1973 MGB with 55000 miles..a rebuilt engine..no rust...runs excellent...? it really is a beautiful little car
Thanks guys i appreciate the help..dont mean to just barge in but if you guys have any rovers id be glad to help you or lend a hand =)posted this for a friend
