Finally had a chance to clean the garage, now I can actually see the cars!

#1 Post by Emil Wojcik »

I've been doing a lot of work on the house over the past few months and have been too exhausted at the end of the day to put all the tools and random scraps of wood where they belong, so they just piled up all around the cars and on my workbenches. I spent almost 20 hours this weekend sorting, cleaning, and rearranging everything. Finally, it's time for a DRIVE...but now I'm too tired...maybe tomorrow...

Well it's very tidy now! Good work.

Where did you get the Ferrari style hood hold downs on the MGB? I looked for those about a year ago but the only ones I found were outrageously expensive, Ferrari expensive, even worse than Porsche expensive!

Thanks, guys!

Cliff, I made the hood pins from Home Depot hardware 8) Cost about ten bucks. Decided this was the best way to go after finding repro originals were almost $500...not a chance, the car's not worth enough to justify that! Mine don't look much like the real deal but perfectly functional and acceptable at that price difference IMO!
