Introduction

Post by ronzet »

LBC Fans..

Just a quick hello to satisfy the obligatory posting....

I have a 1957 MGA 1500 just finishing up a three+ year frame off, a 1966 MGB driver in dire need of a rebuild, and working on a frame off 1958 100-6 with my business partner...

I live in the San Diego Metro area... These are a couple of pictures of the A before I put the body on... It is now running and I am doing detail work to get it on the road this summer...

Ron,

The only 'barn finds' I ever have are, well, finding a barn.

Man, that's looking great! I bet it's going to be an exciting day when the body goes on. :)

Steve,

Thanks for the note...

Actually, that is the latest picture of the car that I have on file... The body is mounted, it is wired, brakes are in, engine runs very nicely and I have actually driven it back and forth in my driveway. I am currently dressing the wiring and pipes and hope to drive it in a few weeks, time permitting...

I'll post a few current pictures when I get a chance... It looks really good and is turning out better than I had hoped...

The '66 B in the background of the picture will be rebuilt after the A is finished... :thumbs:
