I have encountered a slight delay in the MGB project caused by a friend offering me a 69 triumph GT6 for a very good price, if I would haul it away from the shed where it sat since 1986. I will either sell it or restore it some day but it took a lot of time to get it running just to see if the engine was solid.

Having two equally bad carcasses left me with some decisions to be made. I stripped bothe the 74 and the 75 down to just the rolling chassis. I found them both needing interior panal replacement but the 74 had more rust so I first thought Iwould build up the 75. Maybe with chrome bumbers off of the 74. On closer inspection, I saw that the same panals needed replaced on both so it was going to be the same work and expense no matter which car I chose. No brainer--I went for the 74. I now have all of the necessary panels and have cut off the old rockers etc. All I need now is the time to "git er done".Going to be a fun winter.

Well , a good friend from another state made me an offer that I couldn't refuse, so I sold My MGB LE. I had just been offerred a TD that is in two different barns and it has always been my dream to own and rebuild a TD. Well then there was a delay in getting the TD parts and I Was offerred two basket cases. One is a 75 and the other is a 74 chrome bumper with wire wheels (which is another of my weaknesses) Both need a lot of new structural panals replaced. Now I have acquired a Triumph GT6 at a real good price. so, lets see, I went from one midget to 5 British cars in about six weeks. I hope I live long enough to finish them all. Heck, if I could just get one good running MG I would be happy.

I was just visiting with some fellow mwmbers of HER MAJESTYS ROYAL NEBRASKA PATROL, when I mentioned that I would like to have a driveable MG of some kind while I restored my Midget. I was told that there was a "B" in the local salvage that probably just needed a new fender and hood. So I bought it and trailered it home from Lincoln NE to Marysville KS about 80 miles. I was given a good fender and bought a new hood and some paint and was soon on my way. I thought since the odometer said 80K that It was high mileage but not bad. When I recieved the title I found that it was 180K miles. But the price was right and I found that the transmission had a top fill so it must have been replaced. I have no Idea about the engine. It runs strong and uses no oil, so I say thats good enough. I have taken it to several shows (a social thing for me ) and am really enjoying driving and "WRENCHING" as much as possible.
I found a set of HIF4 carbs and manifolds at a swap meet for a cheap price and decided that I was tired of worrying about that carb setting right over the catalytic converter. The carbs were full of dirt but the shafts were tight so I rebuilt them and put them on. Before making the switch I timed the top gear accelleration from 30mph to 70mph on a level stretch of road. after the switch I found an easy 30% increase in power in that range. I thought it was a pretty good running car before, but the carb change was worth it.
