I just purchased a 1974 chrome bumper MGB that has been sleeping for 4 years. I've talked to Tony Barnhill (my pal) and printed out his advice/checklist. I'd love to hear what others have to offer to help me wake up my little car and not do damage to it. Your turn now!

Welcome Naomi to the Forum...I'd love to hear what others have to offer to help me wake up my little car and not do damage to it. Your turn now!

First you need to ask your question in the Healey Forum...cause that's where all the really "smart" guys hang out...

...SilentUnicorn - you just found the perfect last thing I need to add to my checklist....may I borrow that phrase? &, you said there wasn't anything to add!

But she drives MGs. You guys would just tell her to sell it and buy a real moneypit

You know...you guys have it easy...there is only one of me (and before you say it...thank god)...and there are three, four, five of you...I get absolutely no help in keeping you guys in line...


Not that I need it...just an observation...

you'll just have to get more of the Healey crowd to come slumming with you

Why do you think I meandered over to the MG Board...no one over there wants to play...

or we could go over there!
 
I think Dave Russell (another Healey owner) already summed up his feelings... <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>we need another board call BS<hr></blockquote>...so don't even think about it...
 
Anything that I can do to make "Gary" feel welcomed...

Naomi, now did you REALLY need another MG site on which to spend your time?


You can post your web sig on this site, too, by the way. Go to "My Profile" then to "View/Update Profile."
