Re: How not to get a MGB back on the road
I haven't decided yet.
I'll do that after you've put the pic, and some others on here, the right way round. Just because Hooli is on holiday doesn't mean that you can slack off on your one useful contribution to society

Re: The Grumpy Old Man Thread
I've realised all the pics are well out of date so here's some I've just taken:
The new 2nd hand hood was fitted by my missus and eldest son.
We've been married long enough to accept we work in totally different ways so try not to do things like this together. He's a lot like her so they make a good team.

Re: The Grumpy Old Man Thread
It's Citron, a standard colour.
The problem is that it's different shades as I've rattle canned it using cans from different batches.

Re: How not to get a MGB back on the road
Any pictures of you and the mg from 45 years ago, or even some old ones from in between?

Re: How not to get a MGB back on the road
I've got some old ones that I took for agreed value reasons somewhere in my files, I'll dig them out. None with me in them, I just don't like being photographed.
I should have taken some when I used to go off camping in it with my mates but Hartley's Bitter seems to have got in the way. It's still got the bent bootlid from when I put too much in besides the tent.

Re: How not to get a MGB back on the road
I like yellow cars but Citron never quite does it for me. My favourite is still Vermilion. I do keep a look out for a rubber bumper Vermilion BGT with a Webasto as I have unfinished business with them. Kinda wish I bought that (rotten) one from the local classic car garage. Still my favourite.

Re: How not to get a MGB back on the road
I had it resprayed in the mid 80s and came very close to changing it to black but once you change all the door shuts etc. it gets excessively expensive.
