WOW, Mel, how could you leave her behind . Whata beauty!!!
I did the same with my tail lights, I used the transparent red, like for model cars. Works great! Mine had faded to almost clear white.
Mel, your tires look larger than mine. Do you happen to remember the size?
Ok, do we start a new countdown until go back to Florida? Man, it seems like…[Read more]

I am not for sure the capacity of mine, but I have been putting in about 5 gallons when mine gets just below a quarter of a tank.

Mel,
I agree with Larry.
Be sure to scrapbook all your pics for fond memories until you’re behind the wheel again.

Thanks guys. I was very fortunate to have been able to be at his bedside when he took his last breath and talking to him. Not many people have this opportunity to say goodbye to someone so special in their life. He really liked the MGTD and enjoyed riding in it.

I actually had dinner the other night with one of Elvis’ doctors and I asked him point blank, ‘Is Elvis really dead?’, without any hesitation he said ‘Hell no, he works at a Wendy’s in Kentucky.’ I laughed, but he didn’t….that got me to thinking .
My dad died and I have been so busy dealing with the estate and getting his house ready to put into…[Read more]

Thanks, great advice. I’ll take back my new Fram filter and get the WIX.
I have not discovered exactly what locked up the engine. It is totally free now and I can hand turn it without problem. The odd thing is one evening I could not move the crank at all, I laid under the panless engine and stared at everything. For fun, I reached up to give it…[Read more]

I don’t know much about the synthetic oils. Maybe I should use that in my engine when I put it back together. It sounds to be better for the engine. Do you need a special filter for synthetic?

Sorry guys,
I meant to reply to Rich, and my brain must have slipped into neutral and I forgot. I have left the engine open. It bugs me that I do not have an absolute answer to why the engine locked up, and why it suddenly wasn’t. I have cleaned up everything, repainted the pan, put in a new oil pump since the engine was open anyway. Yesterday, I…[Read more]

AWESOME! Beautiful rides. Good to see a white one like mine. Be sure to post to the registry. We only have a few owners with two replicas.
James

Do you know if your speedometer is mechanical or electronic?
I like your car name. I should name mine also. Be sure to post your info to the registry discussion so we can get you on the list.
James

Dan,
Very nice, really gives a nice clean finished appearance. Great job!
James

Thank you Mark,
I will be using these guys for a while. Thanks for the codes.

Mel,
Watching for some pics man. Ship the clothes, toys are important . Just remind your wife you got the automatic so she can drive it some .
Now I’ve got the Beach Boys in my head.
James

Do you use a UV protective finish for the red gelcoat? My car is white, so fading is not an issue, but I do use a marine finish with UV protection. I have seen the red gelcoat fade out in the sunlight on both cars and boats.. My seats are burgundy and a real backside burner in the sun. My other sportscar convertible has black interior and it’s…[Read more]

Great auto, a real head turner. Sharp!

Mel,
I am sure you have packed already, including the MG stuff to add to your baby. Don’t get too wild down there, okay, maybe some. Hope all the installs go as expected. How long will you be there?
James

AWESOME!
Mel, you got the timetable in countdown mode
Have fun fun fun
James

Becky,
I noticed the vacuum cleaner in the garage. That must have been where Larry let go of the handle.
James

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Larry, hope you got your cot set up in the garage, like Geoff has done.
Looks like the Pink MG has a great new home and family. Left one great family for another, one lucky automobile indeed .
Look forward to future pics and the pic of Larry behind the wheel as she glides down the highway. Looking forward to see a…[Read more]

Ringo, we are getting your left over rain over here. Everytime I put my hand on the toolbox to work on the car in the driveway, here comes the rain. I believe the old original T-series used a measuring stick to dip into the tank rather than an electrical gauge. I think my fill is a direct drop into the tank so a stick may be my backup…[Read more]
