Hello all,

I'm another new user on the forum and hope I can contribute and get some good advice too. I've been working on restoring a '72 B Tourer since 1998. I'm living in the Tampa Bay area. This is my second MG, my first being a '68 Tourer. If you're interested, take a look at my web site where there's lots of restoration photos: https://home.earthlink.net/~rbucchino/
Safety Fast!

Happy 4th!
 
Wow, I would ask where you;ve been, but I think we know - you've been in your garage! Good show!

Thanks for the compliments everybody. As you all know, getting good feedback from fellow enthusiasts is a great feeling. It makes all the hours spent agonizing over it seem worthwhile.

Regarding a more difficult project - I got one already. My wife insists we focus on the house for a while. Have any of you experienced this before? I didn't warning about this in any of the restoration manuals!

Thanks again,
Rick

Hey Rick, looking good, man! Congratulations on the resto. Now the honey-do list appears.

Take it one job at a time and you'll be fine. My wife insists on starting several projects at once, so none of them get done too well. I will get a handle on it this summerl, I promise!

Come back and visit a little more often, now that the restoration is behind you. That's a really nice part of the world you live in by the way.

FANTASTIC job!!! thanks for sharing!

and as far as the house goes, we have all been there I think. The "honey-do" list seems to grow longer in the springtime when I spend more time in the garage than in the rest of the house.

Thanks again for the great show!

Rick, what a beautiful final result!! I have a '71 B that I'm gradually bringing back to it's prime, and know some of what you've been through.
Magnificent work! And thanks for sharing!

Great job, Rick, I also have a '72 and really enjoy it. I live just across the state on the other side of Orlando in Chuluota. Maybe I will see your car at a show if you get over this way to show it. Our all British car show is in April.
