Some new and used tools found their way under our Christmas tree and had my name on them. My wife got me a nice leather tool roll - equipped with "everything you need to an MGB". It looks great and sure will come in handy for the planned trip in March. However, I am certain... Continue Reading →

Our Daughter Noa moved back home this week. She will stay for a while before starting her studies abroad next year. Because she likes driving Maggie - we took the MG to get the vaccination booster shot close to Cologne. The car started easily, and the engine ran well - but after 30km I noticed...

Last weekend I finally got to spend a bit more time in the garage again. The first job was to clean and degrease the Mini engine. As the subframes will be completely overhauled - I just cannot drop the engine back into the car looking like a dirty & rusty piece of junk. The pictures... Continue Reading →

The last two weeks had their fair share of ups and downs.

First off: even though I was optimistic - I did not hear back on the 4.11:1 crown & pinion for the Morgan's rear axle. So, my... Continue Reading →

While I haven't spent any time in my garage for the last week - quite a few things have happened. As some might know I killed the Morgan's rear axle on the first test drive back in July. In September I brought the axle to a specialist in the UK. Unfortunately, it needs a new... Continue Reading →
