Scot:

For some reason my message from late last night didn't go through, so
here's a repeat.

<<<Snip>>>
1. Is it possible to change from disk to wire wheels.........what does
this
include?
<<<Snip>>>
Yes, and $$$$.cc.  You need the complete rear end or at least the wire
wheel housing and the halfshafts, plus the front hubs and wire wheels. 
This was covered recently and should be in the archives at
http://www.team.net/archive  Search for "wire wheels" and maybe convert.

<<<snip>>>
2. 1500 engine instead of 1600.  Is this an acceptable core to trade in
on a 1600 ?
<<<snip>>>
Not a big demand unless someone wants to put a 1500 back to as built
condition.

<<<snip>>>
3. Dataplate is missing.  Is there any other place on the vehicle that
has the VIN number ?
<<<Snip>>>
If the frame isn't too rusty, it's located on the frame rail which
passes under the transmission.
Check at my web site: http://members.nvc.net/yd3/Chassis_No.pdf  

Although this describes the twin cam, many standard MGAs have the number
in the same location.
