Introduction as requested.

Cars completed.

1980 Datsun 280ZX. New motor, interior, 17 inch Koenigs. Ruby Red Metallic. Bought it new in CA. Promised it to my son when he was in kindergarten and gave it to him last year. Autocrossed it a bit.

1960 MGA. My wife and I bought it in the 80s. Did some rustproofing and packed it away for a retirement project. 4 1/2 year restoration completed last year. Silver Linings Metallic with red and black interior. VP-11 cam from APT Fast. Stainless steel headers and period "Rocket" glasspacks. Wire wheels. Autocrossed carefully first time last weekend.

Cars in progress.

1971 MGB GT. Dated with wife in this car in the late 70s. Parked it when I bought the Z cuz I wasn't much of a mechanic at the time. Just started rebuilt motor for first time. Fast road head by Dave Headley. Supercharger cam and internal parts from Basil Adams. VTO wheels from Hap. Adjustable dampers from Worldwide. Supercharger goes on it in a couple weeks. Will be original colors of BRG and Autumn Leaf.

1960 Triumph TR3. Just acquired this. Couldn't resist and my wife likes it when I stay in the shop. Veteran of Pikes Peak Nite Mare Rally. Great bones. Minimal rust. Will start full restoration when the GT is done. Black on black originally so will probably do that.

Thats it

Welcome to the nest Paul,

It sounds like your experiences will be a great asset to several of our forums here. If you get a chance, please post photos of your cars, and if you have time when not in the shop, visit the asylum known as the Pub and join in a discussion or two. I am sure we will hear a lot from you know that you have posted for the first time.
 
Welcome to BCF Paul! My son (Tanker pilot) was stationed in Grand Forks for a while.
 
Here are a few pics.

Its surprising how many people I encounter who know someone who served in ND

Hello Paul

Great looking TR3. Looks like I hope mine will look in a few months. Except my wheels are silver not body colour. I am going with Dover white (a GM colour)
