		<title>Override the Overriders?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
With or without overriders on the front bumper? Trying to decide, not that it&#8217;s a permanent decision.


The repro grille didn&#8217;t fit any better than expected, and the bumper fit leaves a bit to be desired as well, but they don&#8217;t look terrible. That said, the fit of the left overrider wasn&#8217;t great, but it wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whidbey Island European Sports Car Club, March 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Time for another meeting, being the first Saturday of the month. Glorious weather brought out a bunch of cars&#8211;&#8221;European&#8221; in the &#8220;club&#8221; name is a suggestion only!


You know, I&#8217;m not much of a rod fan, but I&#8217;ll make an exception for something like this. Excellent taste and an interesting spec (buick engined), this puts 99% [...]]]></description>

		<title>Old vs. New</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Seeing as tomorrow is the monthly Whidbey get-together, and it&#8217;s going to be a nice day, I went and got the MGB out of storage and stuck the Miata in for a day or so. The fuel pump on the MGB is sticky, so it took awhile to get it going. I&#8217;ll put a new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Wheel Mockup &#8211; Worthy or Mock Worthy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Just some Photoshop foolin&#8217;-around&#8230;but this is what I&#8217;m thinking of going with. I have roughly 24 MGB wire wheels, including a complete decent set of five in addition to the good ones on this car. I&#8217;d keep the standard silver wheels, but paint up a set dark red, which I think looks pretty sharp and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doors On, On the Ground, Onwards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Doors are on, hand buffing is about half done, car is on its own wheels again. Not much more to say other than hand-buffing an entire car would really, really suck.

		<title>Mostly Buffed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The paintwork is mostly buffed out; there is some hand buffing left to do where the machine couldn&#8217;t get to, like the headlight recesses. But I can finally see the end of the road! And this will possibly be the last version of this same paint booth photo you&#8217;ll be subjected to!


The paint looks pretty [...]]]></description>

		<title>A 1931 Visit to the MG Factory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a short film showing the MG works in 1931, with the proverbial happy couple picking up their new Magna. The spray booth&#8230;oy. Word has it paint shop guys never lasted very long, you may get a hint as to why by watching this.

		<title>Final Color Coat, All Glossed Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The final coats of clear went on the GT today, and it looks great. I need to flat it out with 1500 paper and polish it to get out the few nibs, and there is one run which needs to shrink for a few days and then get sanded out. Many thanks to Jim for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Final Color Coat, Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
By this time tomorrow, the painting of the GT will be done, unless the red gods decide something needs to go haywire. (I will still need to flat it out and polish it up.) Here you can see it in the first of its two final color coats, before any clear goes on.


I think my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scuffed Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We&#8217;ve gone through and fixed most of the minor problems&#8230;the car has been completely wet-sanded with 600 in prep for another color coat. We&#8217;ll have to do a little spot-priming, first. (The bonnet is just casually thrown on the car here as we needed the workspace, hence the poor appearance!)


You can see the 600 has [...]]]></description>
