I think she is gone....

After debating seriously about what to do with my '79 MGB / V6 conversion that is still at my ex's house in my garage I think I am going to part with her. I dont want to but with no place to keep it out of the weather and it still being a project I think I am going to let her go. My Nephew / Godchild offered me 2k for if which is less than I have invested in the motor alone I told him he could have it as long as he respected the fact that this is not a run of the mill rice burner and he keeps it as it was intended to be. Even though it is getting a V6 conversion. I cannot go any further with it where I am in my apartment and it cant stay at my ex's forever, even though she does has no problem with it being there and stressed that when I told her I was selling it.

Ofh well I guess I will be without a MG soon but I will still visit & play here from time to time...

Sorry to hear that Monte. Seems like the ex might cut you a little slack. Sometimes its bette to just move on. There'll alwasy be another down the road...woman and MG if your lucky....

Enjoy your tag line FWIW:beer:

Thanks Robert...

She was upset that I was selling it (we are still friends) but it cant stay there forever. We have been apart & divorced for almost a year & half... Even though I am taking a beating on selling it, at least it is to my Godchild...Who I let know in no uncertain terms that if he EVER decides to sel her I BETTER be the first to know...

Given this new information, perhaps you are jumping the gun. If she is willing to house the beast don't you think you could work on it on sight? I hate to see someone give up on a project and God son or not, I think a lot of youngsters have big eyes and great ideas but often fall far short on execution.
I don't want to talk you into or out of anything as you know the situation better than I or we. But as the former marriage isn't now a strained relationship and she is indeed understanding to the car...I'd put it on hold until spring or whatever your weather is there and make the decision then.
Like I say I hate to see a dream abandoned before fruition.....but that's me...this is all about you.

Best of luck and good wishes all around...

X2 what Robert said....

Thanks guys and for what it's worth even though I dont want to part with the car at least it is staying in the family, I got the car from my when my Mom decided to retire and she quit driving it. My Dad called me up one day to help get it running... We did that and after it ran 100% he handed the title and from then on she was mine. Because was building it the way I wanted it I will have to be there through the completion of it. At least I am still involved.

Hey Monte will she take you back????????? At least she seems like a decent ex. You are lucky there.

...cheaper to keep her....?

x3 on Robert's suggestion

X 4 on robert's suggestion, especially after your last post.. you got it from your dad etc...

Keep it and get her on the road!!!

x5, otherwise regrets in the future.

Well she is a good ex, and the car has been "stored" over there for almost 2 years now. And with the car going to my nephew it will still be in a good place. He is 19 and was let know in no uncertain terms if he decides to sell it I better be the first to know. So who knows in a year or two he may have it put together and get tired of her and I can get her back. I will still be doing most of the assembly on it so I will still get to enjoy the build. And I will still be leaning on the wealth of kowledge this place has...
