Day 125 and Counting

Last Sunday was 125 days from my planned "ready" date to have the 1953 MG TD on the road for break-in and testing. With the help and guidance of "brother" MG Vintage Racer Manley Ford, we pulled the engine in about four hours and accumulated a workbench full of grimy bits and pieces. Some of these went into plastic bags; some were too big and just got piled.

New Year's Resolution

I've been making a list of everything that will need to be checked, overhauled or serviced to get this 59-year old automobile ready for a cross country journey. The plan was to start in January and spend each weekend in the garage. I've been told Ernest Hemingway began each day's work of writing by sharpening every pencil in the house.
