May 9 2007 New Paint

Posted on: Thursday May 10, 2007

Front fender detail jpg

I ended up with a non MG dark blue metallic (BMW). Is seems great to me, will judge better with interior and chrome bits on. Now I am finishing the floor panels and will sound deaden. I have the engine and a re built OD tranny ready too. So hopefully progress is just around the corner.

Mini Update On 1963 Restoration. 3 Feb 2007

Rebuilt Engine Block

I have had the car since July, slowly taking it apart, some trouble with rusted nuts and bolts. The engine is ready to come out, I need to get a crane and helper lined up. I have a rebuilt 3 main ready to go in, paint is a problem because the painter I wanted has gotten ill and can't do it. So I am considering options and hoping someone will come out of the wood work. I have rebuilt the front suspension.

Sorry the picture is a bit out of focus. This is from July when I got the car. It has been sitting for twenty some years.

Neglected '63B

I found this car near Amity, OR. One dog leg has some rust, need to cut it open and see what is underneath. There will be some body work since the passenger door has a crease. The floor pans will need to be replaced, otherwise rust seem superficial.
