Good Afternoon from Mt. Pleasant (Chs), SC
My MG TD '53, 'Ground-Up Restoration’ began in 1976 (after reading too many Hemming's Motor News!
- when youngest son was born - multi tasking was a lot easier, then!
Wife always likes to say (last 45 years - chimes in while I'm bragging), "He took it apart when the baby was born - baby's been out of the USAF, plus a 20 year business career - he still doesn't have it back together!!"
Resurrected this project April 2019 (retired 2nd time) - dream since '60: smitten by TD & redhead driving it; lost the girl - but finally got the car - 15 years later!
'She' (the car) is in the 'SPA' (Simon's Balancing & Machine Shop) for a hot soak, scrub-down, boring & ‘lift’! Should have diagnosis this week for planned 'recovery'!!
Had been in the Canal Zone for a while - so in addition to Engine rebuild & mechanical – lots & lots of rust, wood rot repair & replacement!
092719 Update: Finally got to ground on this GURL (‘Ground Up Restoration L’il Lorry’) and ‘Movin’ On Up!’
See PTL for plan details & est. time frame
PTL (Prioritized To-Do List or Praise The Lord - Whichever's Most Needed At The Time!!
10. Go For A Ride!!
Glad to share other details & pics if you're really bored!
Thx for the admit!!
