Playing In The Workshop!
Posted on: Tuesday August 9, 2011
In addition to MGB's another interest I have is in CNC routing and machining. I like to make decorative things that appeal to car guys. Heres a 23" MG logo medalion I did to decorate the garage wall! Looks very cool and tells the world, or at least the small part of it that visits my shop, that I am an MG fan. Also pictured is a replacement emblem I made for the boot lid of the car. Yes I know that I could have just bought one from MOSS but hey now I can say I have CNC'd Billet aluminium parts...
Back At The Rust. Same Stuff - Different Side!
Posted on: Thursday August 4, 2011

Well I have reached a milestone in the repair of the passenger side of the car. Last night I fitted up the outer rocker and all worked out excellent. The door fit is very very good and it opens and closes as good as any B I have checked out. I still have a few minor bits of welding to do and as well as a small patch to weld in to tie the dash side panel to the inner sill at the outside of the footwell ahead of the door hinge pillar. Also have to weld in some bolts thru the floorpan to allow...
