@stoic ledge it depends on the year. But depending on the year. the MG series car changed considerably. also note these are low level production cars.. https://www.mgownersclub.co.uk/mg-guides/pre-war/mg-j2-midget this MG j2 which I'm convicted it is and now stick of this game was only built for 2 years and had a number of 2083 built. Screw it.. unless you actually want prove me wrong now.. and you have the more correct answer its Mg J2 Midget!

Probably a little different

They made over half a million 1965 mustangs... That is so many they make nearly complete sets of parts that in theory could be used to make a brand new car. Well it does help its a cool looking car too. but yes.. you in theory could make a brand new 1965 mustang if really wanted too.

i have a '76 international harvester scout
very rusty
i think im going to get a new bed and have it repainted
I guess that person works there
Every time I go there
It's parked
trim wren
@fathom socket You might want to look for another body now.. I never see a international with rust that did not poke though... Something about internationals when it comes to bodies was really off and they rusted though a lot.
fathom socket
the cab and front arent too bad
you can get new beds and floorpans
im mostly just trying to get it running right now
it sat for 30ish years
somehow the radiator and coolant reservoir are still full of antifreeze

What are you going to do about the powerplant?

it ran when parked and is turning
the reason it was parked is because the key was broken off in the ignition

fathom socket
the bed is seperate from the frame and cab
i think i just need to unbolt and remove it
trim wren
hmmm well that should help alot
it looks like your where not kidding about it needing a new bed.
it also looks like a new front fender is in order.
on the passenger side.
trim wren
yea.. they are not going to fall off...
fathom socket
you can shake the bed sides separately from the rest of the bed and truck
trim wren
LOL
I see that going down the road up here.
when the stuff in the bed of the pick up is keeping the pickup bed from falling off.
fathom socket
the bed is full of pine needles that have been there for so long that they are becoming dirt
trim wren
and that is why you have a rusted out pickup bed also! 🙂

lifted ford
trim wren
at this point you might as well just plan on rebuilding the entire thing...
fathom socket
basically
trim wren
hue.. Is that ford safely lifted... 🙂
as crazy as it sounds.. I want to say yes..
on the front there is chains to keep the springs from falling out.. soo as long nothing jarring happens it should be ok.. its the back axle that scares me..
fathom socket
it only makes 1000+ horsepower
trim wren
what kind of axels are those on it? they look like they are from a semi truck with there being a (is that reduction gear on top?)
fathom socket
im not sure about much of anything
its a friend's truck
ill ask him next time i see him
trim wren
you should find out.. I am not per say a expert car guy.. but I know that is not a easy to come by axle on the front or back and its leaving me confounded to what I'm looking at..
military grade!
fathom socket
last i heard about that truck is that he was going to put a blower on it
and hopefully make 1200-1300hp
trim wren
I guess that would help him...
though what is his use scenario for this truck
and his skill set if he hobgobbling together a ford with a M35 cargo truck?
trim wren
yea.. vary major.. i'm hesitant to question anything he does since he is smart enough to figure out he wants such a heavy axle.. at this point all you can do is ask what is don't and plan on doing and then ask when should you check back in to see it has been done..
charred depot
i was driving with a spare wheel today i did a fucking burnout trying to get up the kerb into my drive
i take it you arent meant to use spare wheels that are smaller in diameter on the driven axle

Oof
I wouldn't like living outside the US I don't think, except maybe Japan
Cars live here. Somehow.
charred depot
our inspections are pretty strict and often enough people would just scrap their cars
even with it not being major
civic girder
Though a lot of generic economy cars and shit like that die young here because people scrap them out of nowhere
They're aren't many of my gen Corollas still on the road and in good condition
charred depot
id like to live in the US for the sake of not having to declare mods and less aids insurance in general
the biggest cost for me isnt the mods but the insurance
civic girder
Yea that's another reason I wouldn't like living outside the us
I could have a death kart twin turbo V8 Miata and nobody would care

engine swaps for the most part are a big no no here

@vagrant dune it was a joke dummy, r8 be fuckin smexy
And also rx7 fc that ain’t even a question
vagrant dune
actually audi isnt exactly owned by volkswagen, its called volkswagen audi group for a reason
vague bane
Yea kinda, Audi is more performance, and Porsche is more luxury
Even tho Porsche has way better engineering than Audi in my opinion
solemn inlet
still would die for an R8

VAG... Stands for Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft
No mention of Audi...
German name for Volkswagen Group

or the rx7 fc
not even the best RX-7, smh
fathom socket
technically the VAG is owned by the Porsche family
well they have a majority share in it
dense shard
I'm not even gonna touch the shareholder stuff
Point is Audi is under the VW umbrella. They aren't an independent brand like say... Hmmmm
Polestar and Volvo
civic girder
Volvo isn't independent tho

Maybe

no umm theyre under geely

what about bmw who owns them
dense shard
No one

I don't think Mazda is under anyone, same with Toyota
dense shard
Toyota owns a few brands

Yea, Toyota is still independent then
Toyota owns Lexus and Toyota. Nothing else. They have shares in Suzuki and Subaru, but do not own them
dense shard
They have a stake in Suzuki and Subaru

dense shard
They also own the Daihatsu brand
civic girder
They have a stake in Suzuki and Subaru
right, but they don't own the company
fathom socket
what even is the setup of the VAG is it just VW being the boss of them all or is does the group have its own leadership for the rest
civic girder
the companies under VW probably can do their own thing for the most part
civic girder
GM be like

Also Toyota be like

why does bmw feel the need to design electric cars like that

probably road legal knowing america mlol
civic girder
No
trim wren
Naaa.. like you need a windscreen, mirrors, and lights... and windshield wipers... but provided that is sorted... there is a DMV path that lets it be road legal called kitcars.
Kit cars is how you get cars like the Arien Atom into the US and it applies here too.
civic girder
You need headlights, turn signals, brake lights, running lights, reverse lights, and you must be running a street tire
You will get pulled over if you run a racing slick
Afaik you technically don't need mirrors or a windshield
trim wren
I tried to be simple and practical about it.. and I do think you might be right.. its just running in the rain would suck.
civic girder
Yea it would lel

I wish it was street legal😂 😂 😂

@indigo coral in my defense, the spark plugs on the Prius were fucked, and they are hard to access
