Dave,
Seems like you might be coming back into the fold. :)
I am sure you know the bad thing to watch out for is rust. $1000 doesn't
sounds good to me if it is free for rust, but I don't know what they go for up
there.
I don't know anyone up in MN that works on MGs, however, I do know people who
know.
I am forwarding your question on to the MGs email list. Someone there will
know. You should come and join us. There are about 400-500 people on the
list world wide. Everyone from beginers to shop owners are on the list.
Someone can almost always answer this type of question.
Join at: http://www.team.net Just dig around for the mgs mailing list.
Listers, Dave is not yet on the list, so when you reply, use reply to all!
