It takes a while to recover from a "men's flu". My wife kindly cooked a chicken-noodle-soup for me earlier this week - evidence that it was quite bad, right?! Well, tonight I was eager to get some stuff done again. After not having been to the garage for an entire week - several smaller odd... Continue Reading →

The day started early with a Covid self-test. For the first time in 2 years, I got a sore throat, pain in the limbs and a bit of fever. Even though I am fully vaccinated - I though the test is a good idea, and the result was negative. This means I have the "men's... Continue Reading →

For the next phase in my MGB GT (aka Mildred) project I need/want a roll-over jig. A couple of weeks ago someone offered me his used self-build jig for under 300€. In hindsight it was stupid not to buy it immediately. Now it is sold to somebody else. The cheapest new one I could find... Continue Reading →

As there is nothing, I can do about the Morgan right now, my evenings are now dedicated to the 1973 MGB GT aka Mildred. Clearly: I don't have enough and responsive readers/followers on my blog 🙂 Back in May I posted the question if I should buy this rusted piece of metal. Maybe a wise... Continue Reading →

The old tachometer was a cheap replacement and stopped working at least a couple years ago. So a replacement was necessary anyway. There are two reasons why I also decided to go with a new...

The final assembly of the Morgan takes much longer then expected. This is mostly caused by external factors - but also by sometimes small items/screws/cables and so on that are missing. The most important item on the ToDo list is almost complete: the new dashboard. The long awaited package from EuropaSpares with the new Smith... Continue Reading →

It was an unexpected yet very welcome surprise when I got the call yesterday noon. The paint-shop finished the Morgan earlier and told me that they would drop it off later the day. This caused me to panic a little as the garage was a complete mess. As I had nothing better to do that... Continue Reading →

after a sneak peak on Saturday morning (when the car was in the paint booth) I already expected the call from the paint shop today. I insisted on putting the wings back onto the car myself - and it is safe to say: they weren't keen on doing it anyway. I was able to leave... Continue Reading →
