1966 Project Tub Acquired!!
Created on 2007-12-19 01:00:16
Thanks to the amazing help of fellow members Dick Price (morbach) and Chris Roop, the tub I posted about in my last entry has been retrieved from Portland and is now in storage in Pendleton awaiting pickup. All for the price of gas money to Portland and back!!!
Karma is a funny thing, maybe this makes up for me being jerked around so much by shady bodywork guys over the years. I better knock on wood, this tub needs some finishing welding. I think I'll just buy a little MIG welder and do it myself...
Best wishes to Chris, he just had emergency heart surgery. He's a pillar of our little online community and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Quoting Dick: "Your MG is at my home for the time being, it's almost the whole car missing both front wings, rearend and windscreen, there is only one seat." - sounds great!
