Outside for the First Time

Category: '67 MGB GT,Past Indiscretions

1967 MGB GT

I was able to get some clutch action today (I have a new slave cylinder set aside for the transmission swap) and, sitting on the floor to drive it out of the shop, saw the GT for the first time under natural light since it was painted. I think it looks pretty nice, though it needs to be buffed again and then polished. Please excuse the badly parked wipers with frankly awful wiper blade assemblies (being replaced)–and don’t examine any of the trim too closely!

The interior obviously needs a few things. And my fan switch dissolved shortly after refinishing the dash, so I have some touch-up there.

In any case, this car will be the very definition of “nice driver” but it’s definitely not a concours winner!

Sitting on the floor? What? No milk crate?

Just gorgeous. Love that color. When can we expect the red wire wheels??

Really nice work – glad to see it back together after a while of not making it over to your blog.

Truly a handsome old gentleman. Still lively though and, now, with a suit to match! Your work is an inspiration!!!
