Back on track!

Well the MG project has been on hold for quite a while now, I’ve been focusing on being financially responsible(gag) for some time now. Thus my ‘hobby’ has suffered as a result, but no longer! A few days ago I pulled the trigger on an order from Moss Moss for all of my sill replacement pieces and half sections of my rear quarter panels. I’m pretty excited to get back on it.

I’m a little hesitant about the welding though I ‘might’ have to have my brother Kevin or my dad help me out. From the little bit of welding I’ve done so far I’m a little concerned that the MG might collapse in on itself during it’s maiden voyage.

Tonight I’m going to do a little video recap of where I’m at now since it’s been so long. Stay Tuned!
