Welder did a super job, now way the fenders can move now.

This morning I riped off most of the rotten wood.

Moved the license plate hanger and light to the fender from the very rear where it hit the ground.

Too hot for any more today. Will finish riping off the wood then hit with a wire wheel and paint all with rustolum black then replace the wood.

Oh yea picked up a spare rim and wheel yesterday as well. $40 at the junk yard and he mounted it as well.

Waiting on a J hitch part from J C Whitney and I am good to go. Next week sometime I supose.

Only serious work left is pull eng and tranny and replace oil pump.

Wife came out to see my progress and said, you know it needs hub caps, I said Baby Moons, she said yea.

hehe, Miss Agatha going to be some classy act chaseing the truck down the road.
 
With Miss Agatha on it Ray.

Guess I will try to find some new chains as well, these are all rusty.
 
Old lumber off. Found that my big cutters work just great on the bolts, snip snip. Easier than I thought.

Had the big cutters on my sail boat for years just in case. Kept the tools when the boat went of course, tools is tools.
 
So what color you gonna paint it, Jack?
 
hey Tony...have you wowed anyone yet with that trailer setup of yours?

Jack.. when you get those moons don't get em from Whitney. I put a set of theirs on my trailer and the chrome rusted before the the year was out!! can you say cheap..cheap..

My little MG trailer? After about 4 years of continuous use, she's ready for a repaint & needs a dented fender repaired (Jack, if you loan it, it will come back dented!)

Seriously, since I outfitted her for our long Alaska trip, I've not done anything else to her, though I do want to add a front to it to protect the car a little more:

All the bolts out this morning, now for wire brushing and painting in the next few days.
 
BTW: Tony really knows how to rough it when on the road..huh?
 
Once Army always Army.
 
....hehehehe...that Airstream's old & has now gone on to its next owner...I'm just now getting Jerri looking at a new one to replace it!

& I've gotta go take some more photos of that lttle trailer...best thing I ever did was take the MGB to the trailer factory for them to measure her & build one to fit!
