The MG is on the ground!

Big milestone just passed last week with my friends Kevin Lewis and Chris Wade (thanks guys!). The MGB is now on the ground, rolling, braking and steering. No engine yet, but this is still a big milestone. Check out some of the pics from the day it made it to the ground.

After we got it on the ground we pushed it up and down the street fred flintstone style

My Redneck spring compressor:

and Kevin Lewis (the detail man)

Hey look - it all fits together:

And now, the car is on the ground - yeah !!

The MG is close to getting on the ground

It doesn't have an engine or an electrical system yet, and the interior is practically empty... but, I should have the MG off the rack and rolling on four tires soon. This means I'll have the rear axle and brakes installed and working, the front suspension installed and working (steering, rolling, braking). and thats it. So, I will be able to push it around the block with the help of some friends. Hopefully, that will happen in a couple of weeks. Here are some pictures of the current progress. After I get the MG on the ground, it will be time to start in on the engine! Scott

MG update - working on the front suspension

Moving along on the MG.  Now working on the front suspension.  I'm waiting for some parts from Motorhead to start putting the suspension together and on the car.

I will be rebuilding the front hub after everything is on the car at a later date.  For now I mostly cleaned everything up, painted it and am replacing a few broken bolts, bushings and so on.

Here are some pics of the front-end.
