 1953 MG TD |
“Juna”
'Ground-Up Restoration’ began in 1976 (read too many Hemming's Motor News!;) - when youngest son was born - multi tasking a lot easier, then!
Wife always likes to say (last 42 years - chimes in while I'm bragging), "He took it apart when the baby was born - baby's been out of the USAF, plus a 20 year career - he still doesn't have it back together!!"
Resurrected this project April 2019 (retired 2nd time) - dream since '60: smitten by TD & redhead driving it; lost the girl - but finally got the car - 15 years later!
'She' (the car) is in the 'SPA' (Simon's Balancing & Machine Shop) for a hot soak, scrub-down & ‘lift’! Should have diagnosis this week for planned 'recovery'!!
Had been in the Canal Zone for a while - so in addition to Engine rebuild & mechanical – lots & lots of rust, wood rot repair & replacement!
092719 Update (see PTL details)
Finally got to ground on this GURL (‘Ground Up Restoration L’il Lorry’) and ‘Movin’ On Up!’
