Moving out

March of 2012, I moved the MGB out of the house garage and into the Lakeview Townhouse.  The Townhouse has a double tandem garage, so lots of room to take the MGB apart.  My dad and I had worked on the boot lid a bit getting the bend out of it and removing the luggage rack.  You can see from the picture the spots where we had to do a little welding.

Once the car was safely stowed in the new Townhouse garage we could get to work taking it apart.

Lots more room! I think I could fit a few MGBs in here.  My dad tells me you need twice as much room as the car if you are going to be doing a restoration.  If I run out of room here (doubtful) he has lots of room at his shop in Bragg Creek to store a few parts.

While I was moving the car I even took it out on the freeway and checked the motor.  It definitely still runs very well, it gets up to speed quickly and top speed is about 160 kph.  It certainly could use a fifth gear, which would increase that top speed.
