It's Back!

I have a grin from ear to ear!











I must thank Phil Jackson for a fantastic job!

Ready for Paint!

Check it out, the MG goes away for painting. It’s taken me 16 months to get to this point.
Hopefully in 3 weeks it will be returning in glorious Tartan Red.




The last several weeks have been challenging. Getting a good fit on the front wings took forever and included a repair to the scuttle, but I’m happy with the final fit. I also painted the inside of the front wings with anti-stone chip followed by body colour cellulose.

The car came of the rotator, which meant fitting the suspension to get it rolling.


I had a trail run of fitting the under floor services. I’m not going to put the car back on the rotator, it's just too risky with the paint on.

In between getting the shell ready I have cleaned the gearbox and a number of parts associated with the pedal box. Not the most fun part of a restoration.



My first jobs on its returns will be: Fit fuel tank, pump, services and pedal box.
