Slow Progress

The move really set me back. I disassembled my whole car with a huge list of to dos before knowing I was changing jobs, moving and leaving the garage for nearly five months. I've missed the start and middle of the race season and won't see the track until September at the earliest. So, I'm hoofing it. From the top, I removed the jack points and welded in a 1x1x30 piece of steel in its place. The jack points were in the way when trying to actually jack up the low car. Next are the wheel studs, I replaced them all with much longer versions giving my lug nuts something more to grab on to than the original short studs. Painted the engine bay and built a new dash with the gauges clustered providing a quick glance verses having to scan them longitudinally. There is only so much time to check the gauges and they needed to be in a convenient locations.

Next up is wiring and installation of the motor and transmission, as well as custom building a new braking and fueling system. Stay tuned.

100% Sure - $300 buy back

We found the old Sprite. No where near the condition she was when sold, but as you can see from the picture of my dad holding the log book, it is the same car. We bought it back for $300 and will bring it home as soon as we are done up fitting the trailer. Dad plans on restoring the car to its previous status. I have to say, we were quite pleased with our find. Thank goodness for the Internet, or it never would have happened. Read the entire story at www.mgexperience.net/phorum/read.php?41,435441,page=1
