Steve,
What size wheels did you replace them with? They look slightly larger the white ones.

Hi Andy, The new ones are Fox R1's still a 15" rim, but a lesser tyre wall depth!! BMW were 175/65 R15 Fox ones are 195/45 R15 They seam to have made a difference to the handling, sticks to the road better Steve. |

Nice one Steve, just be aware that the MGF subframe is wider & longer than the Mini one, but you maybe able to space out the front wheels to make it the same.

whoop whoop! It won't be long now and every Freestyle out there will have a engine conversion, there won't be any left with mini engines in them  Nothing wrong with having a wide ass and keeping the front the same, my ass is 150mm wider either side than the front Will be watching this with interest Steve, should hopefully be straight forward, well more straight forward than mine! We need pics asap Jason |

Hi Jason, Working on pictures, just having issues with photobucket (just me being from Lancashire) I'll take some measurements of the back ends, I don't think there will be a great deal in it, as it looked narrow while towing! I'll keep you all up-to-date with the conversion! Steve. |

MG looks pretty good Steve. If you don't mind me asking how much did it set ya back? Im guessing you are planning on flogging the parts off you don't use to get some money back? Thats what i did with the Starlet, after i had sold everything off i didn't need i was left with EVERYTHING i needed for my transplant and it had only set me back £150! |

Hi Jason, The MGF cost me £350 and as you say, I'm going to sell all the unwanted bits, should be able to get most of my money back! I've also got a 1275 GT engine (with Carb, starter, alternator, coil and distributor) to sell, then there will be the 998 engine and mini subframe with all the parts to fit straight onto a freestyle! So hopefully it won't cost me too much to complete |

So hopefully it won't cost me too much to complete At that price i reckon you should end up in profit  I could have sold alot more off mine but i just wanted it scrapped asap so it went to the crusher  With all the other parts you have as well you will easily get more back to help fund the conversion further. Keep us updated, will be watching like a hawk |
