Hello all,
I am returning to my first love, Little British Cars, after a long break spent building Lotus 7 replicas (three!) My first restoration, an MG TD, helped me survive a stint in the Air Force, then was followed by the next restoration, an MGA, quickly followed by an MGB GT. Then I grew tired of spending money keeping them original, and went over to the dark side and started building Lotus 7 replicas. I built my first one using pictures from a book, then the Internet happened and plans became available. If one particular part did not prove reliable, I just substituted another (think GM 3-wire alternators) After I finished my last one, I turned to my first love, TDs, but I was not interested in keeping it original. I thought the original was the prettiest car ever, but I hated the 5.125 diff, the dicey Fuel pump....and I lusted for more power, disc brakes, a longer geared differential, an anti-roll bar, and an all-synchronized transmission. So I found an abandoned project, a TD frame and body. I combined that with an MGB donor car, and now in the process of building a TD with MGB engine and running gear. Still having fun in retirement, but at a much slower pace.
