It Happened Again.

At least I'm not going home with an empty trailer.
This appears to be a rust free 1979 MGB Roadster.

Yours or a customer? Seems like we just talked about one of these.

@alsancle Mine, apparently. I'm going to get it sorted out and running, then move it on to a new owner.
It's surprisingly solid but I haven't taken a magnet to it and I don't really want to.
Hopefully the paint comes up nice with some polish and there's not too much wrong with the engine.
Someone spent some money on it at one time. It's got a Weber carburetor and headers.

I like the wheels a lot more than the last one. Looking forward to the driving video with your entire head over the windshield.

The wheels on the orange (Vermillion according to MG) car are factory wheels.

mg rostyle wheels, very common on the rubber bumper cars.

They look more appropriate than the slotted mags on the white car. I came slightly close to getting a metal bumper car when I was just out of college that my friend had but we never made a deal.

I’m a big fan of MG. The British Leyland implosion regarding them is sad, but great stuff, affordable to the masses and I must say, handsome designs through the years. I’d love a TC, MGA, or an early pull handle Mark l MGB in my future.

It is never lost on me that the first year of PB there were three classes…..prewar, postwar, and MG

Looking forward to you sorting this one Shawn.

I think we covered this last time. The big prewar cars are very cool

I like that!

You would never think that orange works on a car but ever once in a while you see one that looks good like this MGB. Good luck with your project. Please post updates.

Snug as a bug for the long sleep until spring.

Did you get it all sealed up and then think “Wait, where did I leave my truck keys?”

Time to put up a storage building!

I'm shopping them at the moment. Probably in the spring.

There are some fairly inexpensive metal choices if you are not picky and you do your own site work.

That's the plan. There's a local company which sells imported steel kit buildings. A 20x30 is a few thousand dollars. Just need some screw anchors to hold it down.

When I was a kid I didn't understand why we anchored lawn sheds to the ground and then I saw what happens with a solid 60 mph wind and the door open.
