    Re: This is the Thread (shout box) that never ends

    At least the sun is out today. I get to wash the MG after driving it on wet muddy roads to get my orders out. My regular car won`t be completed until this morning. So, I get one more day of driving around in a car way too small for me.

    And I`m sure that your shipping assistant has a little trouble fitting inside, too - or do you only transport him with the top down?

    Re: This is the Thread (shout box) that never ends

    The car is a 1970 MGB. My wife and her father restored 10 or more years ago. The picture above was taken at a car show in 2001. It rained a lot that day and it stopped raining a little bit before judging. The helped a bit too.

    The wheels are chrome wire spokes. Yes, they do suck to polish and clean. SInce it`s her car, I do make the wife do at least two of them. I`m going to give the PC with a small tufted foam pad or possibly a wool pad a try when I do them this year. They really do set teh car apart at shows and cruise nights. They upgraded the top to a fabric one instead of teh factory vinyl. It looks much nicer IMHO.

    The paint job looks pretty good and we get compliments all the time. She loves the car. My knee cramps up just trying to drive it. I just stick to maintaining and riding. The little assistant doesn`t ride in it.

    It rode in the back of the moving truck on the way down here. Unfortunately, the movers didn`t tie it dwn, so it bounced up and down a bit. As it bounced, it hit the decking used to load items above the car. After watching them unload the truck for 10+ hours in the rain, we got that surprise.

    We haven`t gotten an estimate done yet, but it should need a new fender ($600) and bonnet ($800). Plus, the paint will probably be tough to match. I have a can of the original paint applied, but with the paint being 10+ years old, who knows?

    I would love to upgrade it to an overdrive transmission and do some further restoration on it. Maybe this will be a good excuse.

    I`m off to rhode island at 6 tomorrow morning. Then Friday, onward to Mt. Washington, New Hampshire where the real vacation will begin.... Too bad it will only last a week. I can only take this florida heat so much of the year...
