...to a shop to get it back on the road. (Couldn't resist the clickbait title, it's been a long week -- and a long year. 
)
My B has been off the road since I bought it back over 4 years ago (yes, I've bought this same car twice). Engine is really tired, and I was going to put in a spare used engine so I could drive it while rebuilding the original motor. I just haven't been able to make the time to get it done. Working in IT for a public school district during a pandemic has been about what you'd expect. I'm not old, but getting old enough as I barrel down on 50 to appreciate that my supply of years is limited. I want to drive this car and not look at it.
A good friend had his '67 MGB rebuilt by a reputable shop in Scottsdale, AZ recently, and the work was excellent. They did a full engine rebuild and 5-speed swap. Not cheap, but excellent work. It got me thinking, and I decided to haul my car down there as well and get it done.
My B will get engine rebuild, trans rebuild (if needed), and whatever other little things we find. Hope to be driving it before the snow flies. Will likely cost more than I paid for the car to do this, but this car is a keeper and worth it to me. Car goes down there in early June.
I bought this B for the first time in 2011, 10 years ago as of this post. In all that time I've never actually had 2 cars running at the same time. It's about dern time to make that happen, and sometimes that just takes bringing in the professionals.
