Shelter for a poor old B

My old 1 car garage NEVER was usable as car space, and I'm
in the old family house, 4 generations.
There's stories about an older brother of my fathers who ran bootleg whiskey into Chicago during Prohibition,used the garage to hide the Model A, and as far as I know that was the last auto to reside in there.
I rebuilt the sidewalls some time ago and now getting to the roof.
I know it doesn't look TOO bad in the first pic, but the roof hosts at least 2 leaky tarps and is fully supported by sticks and posts inside.
SAD.
Tomorrow should finish the new, slight larger ( need space for those MG parts) roof,and if winter starts slow I may actually get some siding up.
I can't push the B in until I clean out the inside.
The old roof is in there.
Just big enough for a Little British Car!

Actually.....
When I cleaned it out about 2 years ago there was a old wood filing cabnit
that my Dad used in his Trucking office. In with all the old shipping papers was a new sealed bottle of Chivas Regal. The cardboard box was falling apart,
and was probally there from the 70's, when he closed the office and moved stuff into the gagage.
My thought was " Thanks, Dad!".
I still have the bottle un-opened, and waiting for something special.
 
Looks good! Too bad the ol' bootlegger model A isn't still in there.
 
Nice job and perfect for your LBC! :banana:
 
The roof is done, and siding can wait.
The old roof is inside yet and needs to be
hauled to my dumpster at work, then the B has
a new winter residence.
This has been a "wish" project for years.
"Wish I had the money and time to get to it...."
