After 12 months in the garage (weather and other things distracting us), mrs m & I decided today to "re-commission" our 1965 MGB.

So.

Pushed out of the garage, oil checked, fresh fuel in the tank, WD40 on all parts of the fuel distribution system, choke on full, jump leads attached, and...........20 secs later she burst into life cloud9

She's now been washed, polished, waxed, leather fed and cleaned, chrome Peeked and polished, and thorougly vacuumed. Tonneau fitted and back in the garage under her cover.



Bless her.

Well spotted I think - and with the sought-after flexible black rubber leading edge if my eyes are sharp enough!

Is it a trick of the light, or is that front wing hanging off at the bottom?

Well, that's the thing.

She's been garaged since August last year, and passed her MOT with flying colours one month earlier (even with the poor driver's side wing). No more tin worm seems to have manifested itself in the meantime. She'll need 2 new boots as the sidewalls have cracked, but apart from that she seems ok.

We're selling the Rolls though, so we're thinking when we pass that on we'll get some repairs done on the MG, keep the Jag, and sell the 'B'.

Best laid plans and all that........

Is it just the drivers side wing that is bad?

What sort of money where you looking for it? I could be interested if you are thinking of selling smile
