I reside in western New York and have been in and out of the automobile hobby all my life. In June 2007 I purchased my first MG. It is a 1977 MGB project car that was started by the previous owner and now needs to be completed. I estimate the project will take me two years.

It is safe to say the first 6 years were spent on all the mechanical side of the motor, drive train and running gear. I rebuilt the...

Well I didn't expect to have to go through the complete motor but when I realized the pistons were in 180 degrees backwards I started having some concerns. I did the tear down in August 2009 and with a full time paying job i am finally almost done with the reassembly.
June 2009 - Two Years Aniversery
Posted on: Monday June 22, 2009
Well it has been two years now and I must say that this is not a project anymore. This is a hobby. If it was a project I would have kept to the half dozen schedules I set and never met. The good news is that progress continues to be made. I missed a couple of the targets I set for the fall so I did not get the engine fired.
