   So quiet here! Thought I would make some noise - even with a little MG
content. But first...

   This morning I'm going to the shop to make a little progress on three
fun cars: Timing the TR6 project car's ignition, replacing a pipe in the
Testarossa fuel injection, and getting the Maserati up on wheel casters.
Pretty amazing stuff, eh?! Now for the MG bit.

   I'm putting a new top on my '53 TD! I had the 3-bow sticks blasted and
powder coated in cream tan. They were careful to keep powder out of the
hinge points. So after a little oil, everything moves smoothly.

   The sticks are remounted on the tub and align properly at the
windscreen. Canvas on the header rail is going on (almost) as I type. That
will be my job this afternoon. Pictures to follow.

   I also had the side screen frames powder coated. Tan, of course. New
canvas will go on them too, after the top is on, so the alignment can be
precise. More pictures then too.

   So what are you working on? Spring has sprung in the Northern
Hemisphere. You cars coming out of hibernation? Good stories?
