Here's his write-up below, and some pictures attached, there are more photos available. If anyone is interested, let me know and I can put you in contact with him. Thanks! Viktor *For Sale is a well-restored 1952 MG TD that has been in my family for many years. Invested $7k over the last year in expert service, new brakes, tires, battery, fuel line, plugs, wires, and more. Drives and runs great, turns heads everywhere! Has been in a few recent car shows, including the 2025 PVGP. Don't have the time or interest in classic cars any more, so hopefully this car will bring a smile to a new owner. * *Asking $16,000* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Speaking of fluid, when I had a parts washer, I used Mineral Spirits as a cleaning fluid. Cost effective and can be disposed of via your local recycling facility, the same as used oil-based paint. Water based degreaser is mostly a hoax unless you can do it with a hot tank. I discarded the tank however and now mostly scrape and wipe with mineral spirits-soaked rags or spray with brake clean and don't have to deal with fluid disposal. I'm actually not doing much heavy cleaning any longer so my circumstances are different than yours. But to that point how much are you going to be doing? Ed's comment about a small unit makes a lot of sense too if you're going to buy a tank. Just my opinions, how is it said, "Your circumstances may differ!" Enjoying the mountains of NC and frequently finding new mountain roads to drive. They're everywhere.

Message-ID: <1027830681.695183.1762095763161@connect.xfinity.com> Last time I changed mine I got the fluid from Tractor Supply. Seems to work well. For all I do anymore, probably won't need to change again. At the time I had a big burn pile. The old stuff went up with that. I've had the washer so long I don't remember where I got it. I'm thinking the local parts store but who knows. It looks about the same as what they sell at HF. > On 11/02/2025 8:05 AM EST Jay Galbreath via Wpta wrote: > > > I think the important key is what are you going to do with the dirty fluid? > Have a game plan for that. > > On Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 6:15?AM Tim Prell via Wpta wrote: > > > Looking for recommendations on purchasing a parts washer with a reasonably good filtration system for use in my garage.

I joined this fall. I want to offer some parts for sale to the membership before I go online to sell them. I am converting a 1976 Spitfire to an EV. Therefore, I don't need any of the internal combustion related parts. I got very lucky and found this car with only 9700 miles on the odometer. All the evidence as I disassembled the car and refreshed the suspension seems to support a total mileage in that range. I am open to any offers on the parts. I did some research on prices but really do not have a feel for their worth. So, the price isn't so important for me; I'd like to see them go to local owners who can use them. I've attached photos of the main parts that I removed. There are some other detail parts such as cables, filters, valves, etc. that are also available. I can also share two short videos of the car running before I began the disassembly. If you are interested, please send me a note and we can talk. Thanks.
