    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Postings to the For Sale and Wanted sections will be deleted 90 days after the initial posting date if there has been no activity to the thread in the last 7 days. This is done to eliminate dead posts from the forum.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Free random parts!

Hi. Haven't been on the forums for a few years, had to start a new account.

FREE PARTS LOT take all or nothing I won't separate.

Have a small lot of 750/850 8-valve parts (it's been so long I don't have a complete list) but it includes:
-couple cylinder heads (one I think is complete)
-Vance & Hines drag header (off to the side) has a dented pipe
-Vance & Hines exhaust can and baffle
-*some* misc small electrical stuff
-cylinder head gaskets

There's also some ambiguous parts that may or may not be GS-stuff:
Fender or two
turn signal stalks
set of carbs with the accelerator pump (kz650?) they are clean but disassembled
bags of misc screws/springs

It amounts to about 2ish milk crates worth of stuff plus a well-packed box with the complete cylinder head.

In Aurora, IL near the expressway.

I sold my GS a few years back, and this is all the extra stuff I had accumulated while owning it.
I can't bring myself to throw this stuff away, but I'm tired of shuffling parts around I don't need any more.

Delivery possible in the greater Chicagoland area as long as the parts are going to a good home. :)

**FREE** The only caveat is you have to take everything or nothing.

There ya be.

Bump.

Last call?

I don't feel great about scrapping this stuff, could someone please take it?

Or maybe some of the more wizened members of this forum could assure me there's little to no value in parts here?
I guess my inner hoarder/pack rat is looking for permission to scrap this stuff...

Did I mention I'd be willing to deliver, maybe an hour radius from Aurora IL?
 
I'll be passing through the area on my way to potentially pick up a body shell for my MGB this Sunday. I plan to take 294 -> 290 -> 90 - would that be near your neck of the woods?
 
Brian bwringer may be close enough and interested. Tagged him just so he see's this.

That would be super, thank you.

I'm minutes from the Orchard Road exit on I-88 in west Aurora.
Unfortunately, I have to work dawn to dusk Sunday in Geneva.
That said, if you wanted to side trip to Geneva I'd be happy to throw the parts in the trunk and you could grab them from there.

Unrelated, I *LOVE* MGs. My first three cars were midgets, and I've been driving the hell out of a supercharged 61 A for a few summers.
My dad has a 57(?) TF he's looking to sell in a few months if you know anyone might be interested.
 
Might be too late now, but PM sent regarding the parts.

Glad to find another MG fan! My grandfather taught me stick in his '73 B. He ended up giving it to me before I graduated highschool - it needs a lot of work, but I've been dreaming of restoring it for years and I think the project is finally about to be underway.
 
The parts have been re-homed with Danny (LeonAlistar), thank you so very much! Urge him to post pics of his MGB rebuild in off-topic, it's going to be a cool one!
