Greetings all!
My venture into all by Lucas started along time ago, my first car was a 1962 VW Bug that was in mint shape that I promptly butchered into a Baja Bug!
Looking back I regret that decision.....BUT, my buddy in high school had a 1965 MGB with overdrive that was continually leaving him stranded.
One day picking him up from one of those times he told me " i wish i had your Baja bug, it never lets you down" so I said trade you, and to my astonishment he said YES! It took a few weeks to get the kinks out and begun to understand the British Leyland way, LOL.
This was an awesome car for a 16 year old ( at least I thought so) Six months or so later the the cable from battery to battery shorted to the body and the entire wiring harness caught on fire, I knew when it happened, what was happening and turned around and grabbed the offending cable off the battery post, got a lesson on how hot a 2/0 cable can become. No early B wiring harness were available at the time so i purchased a early 70's harness and wire dieted into the 65'. everything was "upgraded" to 12 volt neg ground with all the little gremlins that had to be solved. I learned a lot. Later traded that B in for two TR-4's, one was a TR-4A w/IRS, Black on black , I loved that car unfortunately it was vandalized. Traded both TR-4 A and "Parts" car for another 1965 MGB upgraded it to be a very nice roadster i drove into my mid 20's until we had our first son. At this point my mother-in-law demanded I drive something safer with her first grand son. I relented and traded it in for a "safer" car, mid seventies Gremlin LOL . For anyone interested she is my ex-mother in-law now for the last 14 years, god rest her soul.
Skip to now , a couple of weeks ago I saw an ad for a project car that needed finishing..... A 1964 MGB and I got the bug again!!! It a bit of a Frankenstein car, early body with early 70's drive train. Some sketchy work so far, many hands have touched, many missing components, incorrect parts, not to be a concourse car but a pleasant, safe driver.
