MG Fans,

I have now listed my MGA as ON THE ROAD!! after 4 years of frame off (although there is still much detail to be addressed). I have also listed the '66 B as Work in Process.... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banana.gif

The B has been jealous of the attention that I have been paying to my A... It is now happy as I start to tear it apart... I think it is smiling... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Just thought I would let you know... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

Ron, My '66 is always smiling. And makes me smile every time I start her up. If and when I get that TR6 (Basil's pornography rule be damned!!) she may frown, but right now she beams.

Re: And the beat goes on...

Well guys,

I have a bunch of before and during photos but the 'I am driving' photos are in my camera and my camera is out of town with my wife... I guess they are having a vacation together... Maybe I should worry... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif

I will post as soon as she and the camera get back...

Thanks for asking... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

Re: And the beat goes on...

And speaking of photos...

Is there an easier way to post photos in the message other than moving them to a web domain and linking??

Thanks...

Re: And the beat goes on...

So guys.

I took these of the A. You will note that it is not completed. Only seats with no interior and a bunch of detail yet to do

but

it is on the road for the first time since 1974.... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banana.gif

Re: And the beat goes on...

Steve and Tony,

Yeah, water spots.. these photos were taken at my business partner's house and in traveling there every puddle and sprinkler on the road decided to splash me... argh /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

And the pile of dirt... no that's from a hole where my business partner's 100-6, that still isn't on the road, will be planted... nerny, nerny.. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

He bought the Healey the same time I bought my A... both were rollng baskets....
