Thread: 51 MG restoration.

That looks proper! Perhaps to install one of your spares for the front on the spare?

Those Bias tires are brutal…eh ?

Twas done at the install today Tom so yup, spare for the front, can of puncture seal for the back, and yes, the old tires were like gravel compared to these. Although all four rims should be sent for straightening.. balanced out fine, but show there age when spinning. Another winter project.
And got my screens, and a couple grab bars installed tonight.


And as driving solo,

These are held on via 1/8 set screws currently but I’m going to find some thumb screws instead so I don’t need to find an Allen key every time I want to install them. Also fold down for tonneau use when I don’t want to actually remove them.
Think they just are the icing on the cake and make her look ready to race back through time..
The passenger grab bar also doubles as the glovebox door support when open so I need not add a chain and the potential rattle inducing by product there of.

Damn near completed men.
Exhaust install Monday!

You may swap that archaic rear diff to one (Toyota?) with a higher ratio.
Might work the same for less work and dough?

That’s an interesting option there Tom,,,,
Might be worth lookin into as well, thanks..

Internet down in my country yesterday. Love technology.
Ya know, I didn’t expect it but the car seems less windy in the cabin with the mini screens then the windshield..
The air goes straight up and around your head and back, with the windshield it’s more cross draught and buffety.
Also makes each mile seem faster too, hehe.

Wife isn’t convinced but concedes she looks very racy this way.
All that’s left is some British bling to be added and wait till Monday for the muffler. Here’s hoping it gives me the reduction I want!
Cheers.

Your car turned out magnificent Mike!

Thanks John. I am pretty relieved after all the efforts that it turned out this well.

I love the look of the mini screens but not with the main one folded down in front.

The internet was working just fine for me here yesterday. I did hear that credit card/interac machines and banks were having trouble here.
