Curt worked along all day re-assembling an MG TF which had been in an accident earlier in the season. We send the grille out for re-chroming which took about two months. It looks really great, as does the repair to the front fenders. These jobs are always tedious and filled with little problems (how does one tell the blue/white from the blue/red wiring when it's all now just an oily shade of black?).




Casey worked along all day on an MGB/LE into which we're fitting new rings and bearings. Then he worked, fitting new bushings into a rear sway bar on a late model MGB. He had to cut off each bolt -- everything was SO rusty.

John finished a tune on a late model MGB, then reworked the trafficator tube on the inside of the steering column on a TR3.

Matt, one of the high school boys, has been cleaning a Sunbeam Alpine for two days. It hasn't seen the road in at least a dozen years and was doubling as a rodent motel. We made he wasn't going to get sick!

Now, deep inside this Alpine was a treat we haven't seen in years! The oil was marked at five quarts for $5.35. The oil spout is our own -- although none of us could remember the last time we used it. I sure hope the fellow who invented the plastic, screw top oil quart containers is a millionaire!
