New garage Queen.

[t-tony]

Grumpy Z this morning, had to spend the night under the stars as an interloper had bagged the garage for the night.

Apologies for picture quality.
Anyway after a quick spring clean, clear out and spider hunt, this happened.

First time for a long time, two cars in the garage.

Tony.

Lovely....
Boot rack, oh hang on, ignore me, its not a Z....

 

[Jack Ratt]

Is that a new toy Tony ?

 

[t-tony]

It's a lovely little car. Little being the operative word here, it is an art form getting in and out, I had forgotten. BUT, it's 45 years old, SIMPLE to work on and I LOVE it!

Tony.

Hi Garry, no it belongs to another member on here, @Tony Wilson. Nice fella.

Tony.

Very nice car Tony, glad its not a USA spec rubber bumper job, I hate those with a passion.

 

[t-tony]

Me too Mike, same with the "B" totally ruined the look of the car,

Tony.

What a cracking looking classic motor .
I wouldn't stand a chance of getting in it though,unless the roof was down and then I could sit on the boot rack.

I was in fact just thinking the same thing Steve, "How the f*** would Bozzy get in, or out for that matter, cos I struggle.

I struggled to get out of an mx5 before we got the zed,and it did my back in,so I'd have no chance with that lovely little thing.
It could do with a quick release steering wheel to make it easier to get in and out.
Everyone that could afford them back in the day must have been Ronnie Corbett sized .

That's a good looking motor Tony. What's it doing in your garage?

 

[t-tony]

The steering wheel seems oversized for the car to me, but then there's now power so it was all manual!

Tony.

 

[hard top]

cos I struggle.

Yeah, cause you is a fat B.........

Met a bloke over here with a USA spec MGBGT, he had changed the bumpers to chrome but it had three windscreen wipers....

I'm not quite sure how to take that Mr, Mint. It's here for some TLC Dave, the rear brakes are most likely the original 45 year old bits, you can imagine the condition. I have already taken custody of a shed load of parts from Tony,

These include, shoes, cylinders, spring kit, adjuster kits, lever gaiters and wheel bearings, oil seals, gaskets and "O" rings.
Unfortunately as I stripped it this afternoon I created another shopping list. Proper car, none of this "plug it in and see what it tells you crap" Made my back ache mate but fun at the same time, and no killing pains from my shoulders.

Tony.

Eh 3 wipers

Never mind "eh, three bloody wipers" cheeky monkey!

Tony.

 

[Bozzy]

A fair bit of work to entertain you there mate.
What are the parts in the power tune boxes ?.

 

[Mint]

...What are the parts in the power tune boxes?...

My guess are handbrake adjusters.

 

[Grumps]

Love it. My brother has one but it doesnt quite look like that! They look great with wires and chrome bumpers.

 

[Mint]

...I'm not quite sure how to take that Mr, Mint...

I did mean what are you going to be doing to it
