Here's a before the snow plow photo.
I had to put the MGB out while I worked on the 46 Norton and I put the 6 out this morning and this is how the day ended.
Then I went to Arizona and thankfully this stuff is all gone.
I did drive it on the days of new snow, but they are really starting to use salt this year and I won't drive it on that.
They never used to use salt here, I thought they were worried about the Salmon streams. oh well, at least now the rains have flushed the roads.

Maybe it was just because my car was in such poor condition
BUT............
when I stripped out the glued in K-Mart carpet, installed a new
floor pan with no 12" diameter open holes to the road,
installed new tranny tunnel and handbrake tunnel, took apart
the doors and sound deadened them then
installed a quality, alumnum clad insulation layer over everthing-
followed by Wilton wool carpet.
The temperature inide my car is at least 20*F cooler, I can hear my
wife talking with me.
BTW- Because I live in thropics with high humidity,
after I painted the bare bones metal interior, I installed
the insulation and carpet with velcro. It leaves a very nice air
circulation layer under the insulation; so no moisture builtup.
Just my opinion and I know zip about auto mechanics.
But after 12 months not a speck of rust.
