Now let me just state that this represents a <span style="text-decoration: underline">shrinking</span> of the fleet. And there is a TR link here. And I just generally have a car problem, but anyway....
So here is the deal. Last week at our monthly driving event I had a chance to sit down with a couple guys I had not met yet. One thing led to another and it turns out that one of the guys had been storing his Dad's MGC next to his house for 25 years.
Yep, that is an MGC alright;
Slowing returning to earth here as found;
Engine bay as we opened it up, and yes, that is a recently expired cat;
After a little cleaning and minus the cat;
46,820 original miles;
Um, might need to clean the dash a bit;
Looking a bit better now;
Brake drums were frozen, but 5 minutes with a mallet and taking the nuts off we were good to go. Not to rub it it, but all the bolts came right off after sitting outside for 25 years. You just have to love SoCal cars. (Don't worry, the seat mounts inside are going to test my patience for sure.
First time outside of the fence in 25 years;
Rolling home today...
