Glamour Shots

Al and Dave M took some great shots of the car to help promote the auction.  Want to give another shout out to Best One Tire for their contribution of four tires.  Check out these awesome pictures!

August 23 Update - Car is Done!

The front suspension is done, including a re-check of the toe-in front alignment.  Carpeting is done in trunk.  Our to do list is basically done, we are ready to start driving this thing!

Thursday Dave M will take the car home and start driving it on a regular basis.  We also will start displaying the car in high traffic locations with signs about the auction.  Here's a picture of the car with one of our signs:

Looks awesome!

August 16 Update

Dave M, Donnie, Kurt, and Al worked this morning.  Dave and Donnie worked on the suspension and A-arm bushings, Kurt 

worked on the wiring, and Al cleaned up the spare tire.

August 9 Update

Ray, Dave M, and Vince worked today.  The seats and seat belts are now installed.  The hood now latches correctly.  We have license plates and insurance, so Dave drove the car and filled up the tank.  He says it ran well.

We did notice the front wheels are kind of "bow legged", ie they stick out at the bottom more than the top.  The cause is worn bushings on the lower A arms, another common issue with MGB's.  Fortunately it's an easy fix and we have the parts.  Next Tuesday this should be tackled.

August 2nd Update

Clay, Dave M, and Vince worked today.  Carpet installation continues, many pieces require you to glue a part of the piece and let that set before doing the rest of the piece to get a great fit, so it moves kind of slow.
Worked on hood latch, found poor alignment of latch mechanism, we'll spend more time on this next week.

Installed new tires from Best One, thanks again guys!  Sprayed undercoating on inner fenders.  Installed donated top from Vince's '68 MGB onto a folding frame.  This is starting to look like a nice car!
