MGB parked - Down Under

I had the MGB top replaced with the Original Style vinyl top from Moss.  The top looked fantastic and had fewer holes in it than the last one.  When I had the car in to get the new top put on I had the mechanic do an inspection of the car and tell me what was wrong with it.  For the most part the car was in pretty good shape and there was very little rust on it.  I had rebuilt the motor, replaced the interior, top and rebuilt the front suspension.  What it really needed was some new paint.  

I got an estimate to complete the paint job, and it was going to cost me about $3500 to get it done right.  I decided that money would be better spent going on a trip, so I parked the MG back in my Grandmas garage and headed out for Australia.  The MG was going to have to wait.
