T-Series 1953 MG TD Reassembly - CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED

[vping]

Really how badly is it damaged? I thought you can just braze of solder theseright up and they are good to go. That ebay one might do for you then.

 

[jlaird]

Me thinks lots of other things to do. Press on Tony.

Jim @ Knox Chrome said they'd spent 2 days trying to weld up the tear in the brass but something has affected the brass & weld won't take....he's sending it back to me...I'll take to the NASA metal magicians I know to see what they can do...in meantime, I've got another on way from California but its probably no better than mine!

Guess I'll work on dash & interior

 

[tony barnhill]

Here's where I spent the day:

Covered the dash, installed instruments, hooked up everything under the dash.....next I'll cover the glove box door & get it installed but while I'm waiting on a new glove box pull to arrive from Moss, I'll work on the interior.

I'm over my frustration about my damaged/unrepairable radiator shell and am waiting on a replecement to arrive from California & my original one to return from Knox Custom Chrome so I can assess the damage myself....got a friend out at NASA who has access to some of their "metal magicians" so hopefully he'll be able to get them to repair my radiator shell using some space station technology!

(hmmm, need to take a better photo tomorrow - this one's kinda blurry.)

 

[vping]

Did you get that ebay grill?

 

[tony barnhill]

No, I don't know where it went.

 

[jlaird]

Boy Tony I'm getting to like that brown.

It sold for $876.00.

 

[vping]

[tony barnhill]

Mark

 

[vping]

[ccougill]

and in the living room too. Fine piece of art, all I have in my living room is a DeSoto hubcap

 

[tony barnhill]

Mark - I can't tell if its for a TC or TD - but you have a PM....does it need rechroming?

Oh, tossed the new steering wheel on the car today to move it around:

 

[abarth69]

For sure it needs to be rechromed. Yes I live in a very strange place on the other wall is my 1968 Triumph Bonneville restored of course. The wife has a special pan to collect the odd drop of oil.

Tony you have mail

Mark

 

[zahnej]

Pretty steering wheel Tony. Is it a Moss repro?

 

[vping]

Ok lets see the bonnie on the wall.

 

[abarth69]

Okay still trying to get this pcture thing right but lets try this.

She is a 1968 Triumph Bonneville full done third owner she is up for sale or trade for another British car.

Cheers
