General comments	The car started off as a green MGF! After a front end accident in 2007 we decided to do a front end TF conversion. We then made the mistake of thinking 'I know, we'll respray the car (in the same colour) as the paint's showing its age'. That quickly changed to - lets change colour! The car was bought of eBay in 2006 for just £900. The head gasket had gone twice and as you can see from the gallery, the engine was in bits in the boot! A new engine was sourced, along with a TF cooling system. The car is 'Project MGF', details of which can be found here. and this thread details the transformation from eBay bargain! The resurrection after the 2007 accident can be seen in this thread.
