Yeah, I do apologize for this project taking so long. It has kind of snowballed.

This project is my childhood dream car. I'm only doing it once. So this is the last big transformation the car has to make. And it has to be right.

I'm still a while out from driving this car, especially now, since I'm going full racecar on the suspension system. But again, I don't want to do this twice. It'll be right, I can promise you that.


Doing the suspension also allows me to clear my head, and begin to ease into taking the front of the motor apart for some EDIS magic.

Update: Garage clean out is at a manageable stage. There's no way to accurately show the extent. And this is still only just the beginning. But, at least now it is manageable.

Before the garage was full of, but not limited to, some of the following:

-c.1925 single cylinder 60 gallon air compressor
-2x MG-B engines
-3x Transmissions (2x Z, 1x MG)
-3x L series engine blocks
-Late Father's horde of goodies he accumulated through his career as a boiler maker, handyman and car guy. (lots of copper, fittings, pipe,specialty tools, gauges, you name it)...So a lifetime of his stuff, that for the most part, I had no use for. This accounts for roughly 75% of what was removed.


So here are a few shots of the car, from various angles, to attempt to show the garage progress and where we left off on this project. Plus some 1970 Boston Whaler center console rebuild action! 1" Solid mahogany sides. No fasteners. All carbon baby. No more rot!

I'm rockscaping the waterfront today, in preparation for putting the Whaler and the lift in the water, so that's this afternoon, but progress on both vehicles will resume in a day or so.


I love all the new space. Sometime today I'll try to grab some pictures for the areas I missed.

No, but you must be the ex-wife with the amount of bitching you do.
