Back to the future. So, I bought a red '53 TD from Craig Siler in Salem, OR, to actually inspire me to do the work on the green TD, and I think it's working.

Anyway, I was talked into going to the 2nd Annual British Car Show in Woodstock, NY and my red TD won Best in Class, and showed up on the internet. Here is a picture of the red one.

I'm in the process of obtaining some better parts for the green one and will try to keep some progress info on the restoration on this site.

If anyone knows were I can get a decent radiator shell, please let me know.

Maybe I need to give a little history here. I have a older '53 TD that I purchased from Abingdon Spares' Bob Seymour as a pile of parts a few years back that are now spread out in my garage. The car has not had much done to it. That is to say, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the prospect of restoring the bent and rusted fenders and body parts, engine not started for an unknown period of time ... sort of a not very good, but mostly complete, parts car. Well, in the meantime, I decided to get a car I could drive and have next to the pile of parts to inspire any garage elves to spin the parts into a shinny restored MG TD. So far, I think they are just taking the drivable car out for a spin at night, because the parts haven't moved much.
