...but not a newbie :smile:
I'm pretty active on the MGExperience forum but not so much here...probably know a bunch of your already from that forum.

For those whom I do not know yet I have a 74 roadster that I bought in 1988 and restored. drove it for 10 years as my daily driver and put over 100,000 nearly trouble-free miles on it.

She sat for 10 years and I started my second resto last July. I had hoped to be finished by June 6th but I don't think I made it. Hopefully will be finished before the end of summer.

Just wanted to say hello if I haven't already

Welcome.

Are they ever really "finished" anyhow?
Slap it into running shape and "finish" it next winter! :devilgrin: :jester:

Welcome Starbuck! Great photos.

I like the heat shielding. What is it and where did you source it from?

Aluminized bubble pack! I used the same stuff on the non-load bearing (vertical) surfaces.

Welcome to the BCF Starbuck. I wish I had the time to concentrate on just one car but then again why have one? Nice work you've done there. Ooops gotta update my profile again. :smile:
