Insurance assessment on a 1969 MGBGT

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today, we have inspected a 1969 MG BGT that was involved in an unfortunate accident yesterday.

From first impressions; the original bumpers and front grille will need to be repaired. During the impact to the front, the weakness around the front headlights, due to age related corrosion, have been further weakened so will need to be cut out and repaired. The bonnet has been slightly buckled, preventing the mechanism from running smoothly. The front valance, arches and bonnet will need to be resprayed.

A full report will be drafted up and then we will await further instruction from the insurance company.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVR7qdNdd5Q”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”11360,11361,11362,11363,11364,11365,11366,11367,11368,11369,11370,11371,11372,11373,11374″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Fitting the new MGYT wiring loom

Due to the rarity of our 1949 MGYT the wiring loom as been specially manufactured, for us, by Autosparks. It was an 8 week lead time but due to forward planning it arrived within our time scale. Forward planning reduces the risk of set backs, doesn’t always work this well but on this occasion it has!

Autosparks are the world leading supplier’s of classic car wiring looms. There are lots of wiring looms suppliers online but from previous experience they all seem to use Autosparks as their supplier so we choose to buy direct from source and deal directly with the manufacturer.

We started back on the MGYT today, with Dave’s first job being to to install the new wiring loom.
