  1. Good deal Miguel! Did you use a random orbiter to polish or did you just apply by hand?

    Hi Raffy, I did the easy way … had it done by a local hand carwash place about 1 mile from my apartment. Yes I was lazy but swmbo is happy. grin.gif

    Edit: The removal of the polish and then later the wax were done by hand.

  2. Fitz your dad's MGB should a very nice looking car. I had mine while I lived in Puerto Rico during my senior year in HS, as you can imagine I had a blast with it and since at the time we were all thiner I had 6 in the car! Boy a lot of fun was had in the car even if at times setting up the dual carbs and dealing with two 6 volt batteries was a pain.

    I did hate having to remove the spoke wheels to clean and lubricate the splines. Quite often due to the corrosive effects of driving by and on the beach. Wish I had pictures ...

  3. Not sure exactly, it's one of the ones after they raised the suspension and changed to the rubber bumper. It's very easy to find parts for them though, as well as rust buckets to use as parts cars.

    Nice to know about the parts availability, my 67 MGB had the chrome bumpers and spoked wheels. Of course it was BRG! How soon will your dad's MGB be completed? I go to Atlanta at least annually and would love to see it completed.

  4. Awesome work Fitz, what year is your dad's MGB? I ask because my first car was 1967 and except for my 1970 Beetle it has been the most fun car I have owned. Thought of picking one up but parts can be a pain as well as a good local mechanic. So instead I am thinking of a 1969 VW Karman Ghia instead.

    Best of luck.

  5. Thanks for your feedback guys, for some things I am a cheapskate and paying to hear music on the go is one of them. Sadly in SF the radio stations that I find acceptable are down to two (88.9 and 89.7) so I may be paying for a service in the near future. angry.png

  6. FTFY

    Did not know what FTFY meant so I googled it! evil.gif

    Originally means "fixed that for you." It also works as a double meaning for "fuck this fuck you." It's only used in that derivative in closed circles to confuse those that aren't in "the know" and is usually used in cases when two parties argue over something innately idiotic that has no logical outcome.
