It shouldn't be surprising that quite often things do not turn out as anticipated. Funnily enough, I had that strange gut feeling that something would go wrong all week. 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 →

although there is no confirmation on if the Morgan rear axle will be finished soon, I hope that I will be able to pick it up in about two weeks' time. To prepare for this return I need to clean up my main garage, which in turn means I needed a better storage location for... Continue Reading →

Sure, there are other ways to clean the underside and do some welding - but this is 1000 times more convenient.... Continue Reading →

For several reasons only a few hours were spent in the garage over the last couple of weeks. Mainly, it took me a bit to recover from a bad cold. The roll-over jig for the MGB as well as the rear-axle still needed some welding. Maggie - my 1967 MGB GT - required her annual... Continue Reading →
