Hey, Rick, good to hear from you...
As you might have seen, I have recently
got my '76B resuscitated with some help from Pete Cosmides at the Motorcar
Garage... I do need to do a couple of things to it - the steering wheel is
slightly off-kilter (probably from when I removed/
replaced the rack a couple
of years ago when changing the engine mounts). It kinda drives me crazy. Also,
the front end
really needs new bushings. And I'd sorta like to get rid of the
generic 'cube' fuel pump and replace it with an OEM-style.
But really, I want
to get back to the '65 project car. Just need to sit and ponder where I am and
where I'm going with it.
It's basically stripped except for engine/trans,
brake lines and wiring.

Hi Friends,
Long time, no type. No
longer owning an MG keeps me pretty quiet these days.
Still, after the first
of the year I may be helping a friend rebuild/restore
his Midget. That should
be fun. Just putting the metric tools away will be a
treat. :-P
If you will
allow an off-marque comment or two I'll tell you my near-field
plans.
We've
had a couple of days where the mercury has avoided the 90s and that has
me
thinking about the TR3. As any of you living in the deep south know, our
open
sports cars are often more enjoyable on dry winter days than on
unbearably
hot, sun drenched summer days. That is certainly the case here in
Houston,
Texas. And I have lived here long enough now that a couple of cooler
days has
me thinking about open motoring. Problem is that my TR3 has a dead
fuel
pump. Well, that and the fact that it is a Triumph. :-P
The weather has
discouraged me from changing the pump but now I find myself
pondering the
job. Parts are already in hand but today is already booked.
Next weekend
(almost) for sure!
What are your plans / projects? I miss you guys...
-rick, in sunny Houston
