The guy from whom I bought my GRM car & my '63 MGB stopped by today for and visited for about an hour...he was impressed with the '68 GT:
BEFORE (when I got her):
You can't see it but her passenger fender was black & the door was white & the rocker was crushed...& she was a $200 car on the edge of being either a parts or restorable car.
NOW:
But, what he really wanted to talk about was buying this baby back:
He bought her in 1971 from the original owner with 60,000 documented miles on the clock, and put another 350,000 documented miles on her before he decided a full restoration was needed (Yes! 350,000 miles!). He only sold her to me in 2002 because of personal circumstances...now, he thinks he's over that situation & recently drove a firend's MG...he's not sure if he can make it happen but wanted to know if I'd consider letting him have her back.
I explained my plan: get Jerri's Glacier White GT off the Kwiklift & put either the '68 MGC or the '63 MGB on it...I told him if he wanted her, he could have her if he came up with the money before I started work on her (heck, all she really needs is put back together). I'd only do it for him because of his unusual connection with her.
We'll see. If he does come up with the money, I'm gonna have to find another 1st or 2nd year car. If he doesn't, I've gotta decide whether tostart on her next or on my '68 BRG MGC roadster....
