WEDNESDAY! Midweek! Longing for the start of the New Year!
Lisa was examining the MG adverts in Hemmings today and found the following: 3-TC's; 9-TD's; 7-TF's; 18 MGA's; 22 MGB's; 1 -1100; and 1 Midget. Overall there aren't as many cars (or parts) listed in Hemmings as there used to be -- but it's interesting to note that the number of MGBs is the largest component. Once upon a time it was the T types, and then maybe the MGAs. The MGB is finally, finally coming into its own.
Curt continued today with the TR6, torch in one hand, spanners in the other.
Casey got the firewall of the MGA wired and the dash prepared. That will probably go in tomorrow.
Trevor and Ken worked away at the 1973 MGB, and with great success. I saw the taillamps illuminated towards the end of the day.
Tech time included the fellow from Ann Arbor who is reviving a 1979 MGB. I'd given him some suggestions the other day regarding the carburetter and he called today to say that they had succeeded in getting the car running. Another owner called hoping I could make sense of a bill he'd received at another shop. We have our chromer back! He had to close up his larger shop but is now working from his home. This is good news for a good chromer is hard to find!
I continued to work on a series of dash components for Moss, then turned my attention to the 1937 MG VA which is all but done. I'm just reworking the throttle discs on the car so the car will idle down to 600 or so. Peter A stopped by and we chatted for quite some time while I removed the carbs. Then, later, Tom B brought his very keen, black TD for a clutch adjustment.
If you've made it this far, you'll want to know about our assignment board. Lisa posts to this every day and keeps track of the cars in the shop -- when they arrived, what's next, the mechanic on the job, etc. In the summer the board is usually full, top to bottom!
