... buy a project MGB!
It's a '69 MGB (Yeah, I know.. it's a
British-Leyland), which is a stalled project of a good friend of mine. Since his wife has had a baby and the fact that he's moving house he's forced to sell it as-is. So, my Dad and I bought it together. It'll be our new project. Dad's very familiar with MGBs, as he did a ground up restoration on my Mother's '68 B Roadster, which incidentally, she's owned since brand new.
My buddy has spent lots of money on the mechanicals, so really, what you see only requires assembly, new paint, all the cosmetics and a new interior. I paid a relative pittance for it, too. It'll stay where it is (at his place) for the time being, until late next month, when we'll be able to give it a home.
I guess it will now get to sit beside my Mother's pristine '68 MGB (Mk II) and my own (stalled) '66 Honda S600 project.
But we're getting into Winter, which we all know is the perfect time to work on cars (brrrr) so it'll probably be on the road to enjoy our coming Summer.
I might start a pictorial diary of the restoration if anyone is interested.
