I'd *like* to buy you an airline ticket, but if I'd had money lying
around for last minute airline tickets I probably would have spent
last weekend swing dancing up in Portland.
I'm certainly hoping the car will be done by next weekend, although
there might still be a bit of work to do on Saturday. I certainly hope
to be done by then because it is one of those days on which there are
about 8 things going on, none of which are something that I want to miss.
It's been a frustrating evening, rather than doing any "real" work
I've been trying to track down assembly instructions for the Venolia
Pistons (I don't think that there is anything fancy about installing
the rings), the torque specs for the ARP fasteners that I bought from
Seven (It doesn't actually say which torque settings to use off of
the chart) and such like.
I did find the original window sticker for my '69 MGBGT
Sugg. retail POE 3315.00
SP Tires 25.00
Destination charges 138.00

3478.00
Also, it turns out that a friend has an ex Improved Touring MGB that
the remains of which will be going to the junkyard, unless someone
wants to claim it for their own. The primary item of value would
be the rollcage and logbook. Bill's email is VINTAGERCR@aol.com.
The car is in Sacramento.
