Just got an email that the backordered part arrived. Of course there is always a new issue. Do I want to live with a flaky speedo or send it out? Last month I said live with it but am thinking about it. I can always send it later. Removing the speedo is literally five minutes and requires no tools t all unless the cable is too tight and needs pliers

More pron.. Seats are done. I honestly think the custom seats from 1980 looked better when new but 45 years is a long time. Only remaining item I can think off is the center cockpit rail. You can see where it goes on the first pic. The door rail just ends in open space. Soon....

That ought to keep the guests from staying too long

That's kinda what the garage that is working on my MGA said. Their comment was that the current shops only want insurance works since it is quick. Luckily my shop has a body shop in the same town that does older cars. Not quick or cheap though.

Getting real close. Door panels and kick panels are in. The seats are the 45 year old ones. They are going to upholstery this week. The only real issue is the missing trim on the dash. It is still back ordered but the national MGA convention was 2 hours away from the garage and the owner went over to discuss this with the vendor (in addition to being at the convention). Optimistic it will be shipped soon

I think your price is too low. I spent more than that on my roadster in this thread but it did need a lot more. However changing a different color is a real challenge. You are looking at engine compartment, door jams etc. You probably would be better off selling and buying the color you want

It took me a few minutes to figure out what they did to the 59. Some interesting subtle changes. Instead of the fender piping they filled the gaps with bondo and painted. A slightly cleaner look but if you ever have to remove the fender it's a repaint

Went to the local Euro Brit car show for North Alabama. There were some serious entries and a ton of Porsche's. Since I have an MGA I check out the locals. Every one is outstanding/ I saw this one in 2019 at NASA car show. The dove grey and red pops I saw this one in 2019 at NASA car show. The dove grey and red pops A few others MG TD There were two Panteras A Jag with multiple carbs - fun to tune Show would not be complete without a Rolls Did I mention - lot of Porsches

Only one type available. Because I was bored I found the actual wording The vehicle is operated in "club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades," and can be driven to these locations for the purposes of attending these events or activities. For purposes of Section 40-12-290, Code of Alabama 1975, the term "club activities" shall refer to the sponsored activities of Vintage Vehicle owner organizations, such as the Antique Automobile Club of America, or the Model A Club of America. The term "exhibitions" shall be deemed to refer to public displays of Vintage Vehicles and shall include antique car shows within or without this state. The term "tours" shall be deemed to be an organized trip comprised of several Vintage Vehicles to a predetermined location(s). The term "parades" is deemed to be a public procession on a festive or ceremonial occasion. (3) The following activities by an owner or operator of a vehicle displaying a Vintage Vehicle license plate are outside the criteria of legal use and in conflict with the provisions of Section 40-12-290, Code of Alabama 1975: (a) The use of the Vintage Vehicle license plate on a vehicle that is being driven to school, to work, shopping, etc. This type of operation constitutes “general transportation purposes” as this term is used in Section 40-12-290, Cod

At least Texas has reasonable rules on classic plates. I'm too honest to get the Alabama version since, per the regulation, the only time you can drive the car is to a car show.

I like a lot about it but I am just not a fan of the non circular steering wheel

Technically the voters for HOF are only supposed to consider the on field performance. This came up before with Lawrence Taylor and Terrell Owens. Technically is highly variable
