A little off topic (and if it's too far off topic I'll gladly remove the pictures), but.... I was at the British By The Sea car show this weekend and saw a beautiful MG. The car really caught my eye in a huge field of cars. Turns out the body & paint restoration was done by LaBrecque Autocraft (same shop doing David's car for those of you playing along at home):

Dawg,

No updates yet. I haven't been to his shop in a week or so. The place is packed with cars and I might be at the bottom of the priority list. A lot of other cars are closer and I am guessing that some customers want their car back immediately.

Jeff,

The MG looks good, but I'm not a big a MG fan as they are just too small for me. I think I ticked one of my neighbors off when I told him his MG was the perfect size for my 8 year old. LOL.

They are pretty small and finicky

But throw an LS1 in and well it seems like a fun little car
This is exactly what I planned to do with the 69 my dad and I played with earlier in life: LS1 Swapped MGB GT

Labrecque repaired the subframe where the car was in an accident and sent it off to be acid dipped.

Wish I knew you needed those areas. I have them all in one piece sitting on the floor downstairs that I torched out of mine.
Ah well, looks like they did a nice job with it as is though
