Drew - sit down now, but I even finished getting the rear suspension back in place including new axle straps.

I wasn't happy with the fit from Moss so I removed the original metal sleeves and put them in the new Moss ones... Just seems like a better fit and solution for longevity.

Doc - don't forget to add that I pulled the MGC radiator and would have had the brake & clutch MCs out if the MGB pedal box wasn't designed by some evil genius....

Come on Drew - get on it! lol

At least the pace can't slacken, as there hasn't been any!

Too busy now with day job and the winter gig season (in a ski town, winter's the busy time). Making hay while the sun shines. Still, I pull into the garage every day and see that little car just waiting for me. Give me maybe 3 weeks for the rush to die down, and I'll be back at it.

I will drive it this year. 'Nuff said.

It's killing me though, Doc. I've got my motivation back, but no time or space to do anything about it. Stupid winter.
