A little bit about me...
Growing up our next door neighbour had 74; I knew someday I would have one. I bought my '73 MGBGT in '98 and have been performing a rolling restoration ever since.

| Reassembly Completed! | 2008-07-07 | Aside from putting the door panels back on and a trim piece that needs repainting, I finished reassembling the car this past weekend! The only thing that I am unhappy with is that ... | ||
| Paint Brush | 2008-07-04 | Noticed Wednesday that there were spots at the nose of the bonnet where I had got no paint on the metal so last night I mixed up a bit of paint and hardener (no reducer) and grabbe... | ||
| Canada Day Well Spent | 2008-07-02 | 1 | Judy and I put the bonnet back on the car. It looks so nice having it back on and freeing up some room in the garage. Also, the interior is now back in the car. I... | |
| Interior Going Back In | 2008-06-18 | 1 | The car is painted other than the top of the bonnet. I've been waiting for a dry, calm day to paint the outside (the underside is complete). Last Sunday would have been perfect b... | |

| Sanding | 2008-05-21 | The sanding has begun. I quickly learned that my compressor is too small for my DA sander; it's rated for an average 4 cfm @ 60 psi, but the constant cfm must be much higher; the ... | ||
| Welding Complete! | 2008-04-21 | The weekend saw the A-post closing pieces, sill end cap and a front corner of the driver side floor pan welded in. That brings the welding to an end. I also dug out the grinder a... | ||
| Productive Weekend | 2008-04-14 | Saturday I clamped the inner fender to the rear fender and clamped the assembly to the car. After adjusting the position of the inner fender a few times I was able to get it to fi... |
