Luv2Wrench Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The restoration process is complete and I'm excited for the MG TD to find a new home! I bought the car as a "basket case" and restored literally every nut and bolt. Throughout the process I followed the "Nitty Details" https://www.mg-cars.org.uk/mgtd/mgtd_nitty.htm to try and get the car as original as possible. I even created a box for the battery to make it look 100% original. The few deviations from original are removable seat belts, an electronic ignition system and a walnut burl dash. The engine was rebuilt including new .100 over pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft and rebuilt SU carburetors. All sheet metal was removed from the wood frame which was then replaced/repaired as needed before being shot with a 2 part epoxy. All sheet metal was also shot with 2 part epoxy on both sides before being painted with base coat followed by clear coat. All chrome was re-plated and the front bumper is a new reproduction chrome bumper from Moss Motors. All rubber is new along with a new leather/vinyl interior. The car includes a new Stayfast convertible top, side curtains and tonneau cover. Over $31,000 was spent on parts and materials alone during the extensive restoration. The car is located in Johns Creek, GA and I am asking $34,500. I have a clear title in my name though I do need to mention the title has the VIN as D9666 and the car number on the ID plate and frame rail is 19666. This is how the South Carolina title had the VIN when I bought the car from the previous owner.

Steve_Mack_CT Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Fantastic car, for not much more than an average TD this is a standout with probably the most documentation on the fresh resto one could ask for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, a few photos would be appreciated .. I sold a 53 a few years ago and am always looking for a nice replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
