I like the aggressive stance. What do you have done to the suspension?

Accidentally lowered the rear when I took out the tranny so I have no idea what's going on out back. Just 175/65/15 in front. 205/165/15 in the rear. They are big meats out back. And a tank of gas to keep the front low. Ha. But dropped spindles this summer

Thats why im trying to sell the '91 below. I found out that mine was leaking oil on the 98 mile drive home from the guy i got it from, so i pulled the engine and im swapping out oil coolers later this week.

Well this got done. Switched to short axels so my 5.5 wide rear rims/tires no longer rub. yay. ever since i got the roof rack, i have ventured away from "cal look". roof rack isnt cal look. crappy fake patina isnt cal look. so i guess the direction in which i go changes.

Interior was really molding bad inside the doorcards, And to be honest, the only reason i decided to do something about it was because on the passenger's side door, the grab handle would rattle like crazy because the door was half attached with clips.

So I decided since I was no longer going the cal look route, something beachy/ rural would look cool.

The rear panels were in fine condition. So I did those today. I need to make new door cards using something probably from Homedepot. ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA AS TO WHAT I SHOULD USE?

On that note. I have lost too many lug nuts to be comfortable driving. So as of now I havent been driving Olga in like a week waiting on a new set of lugs which I will cut down and make fit like I did with the other ones I am running now. I was dissapointed I couldnt take my bug to prom since it is definetly my highschool car and I drove it the majority of my highschool days.

But the MG wasnt too bad though. Still an old car. Any response as to what to make door cards out of is much appreciated. Thanks! Cool

I used some OSB (Orented strand board) from Home Depot, its Like pegboard, but does not have the holes in it. it was right next to/under the Pegboard there. It also works Great!

Also, are you going to slam it? Cool

James,

I made my replacement door panels out of 1/4 inch masonite that i got at Lowes. I bought a 4X8 sheet for around $10.00 and had the worker cut it into 4 2X4 pieces and it was plenty for all 4 panels. Good luck with the 67.
