Yeah it's looking real purdy.
Re: ozbilt's California MG TC build
Loaded it on the trailer, but then decided to pull the string ......
Plugs pulled, fluids checked & then engine wound over for oil pressure check. All good, so plugs inserted & it fired right up with it settling back to a nice idle almost immediately (it was a warm day). So whoever built the engine & set up the carbs etc, did a great job.
However it immediately told us it was British built ........ :rotfl:
So the car now resides back at my friend's home while the front mudguards are finished. I trust they will send me pics of it finished as I will only get to see it Tuesday before I fly home .......

This bad boy was knocked off that morning. So after cutting the rattles off, it was hung on the fence for the buzzards to take care of .......

Congratulations to all involved.

No, it was not "road ready" while I was there. So probably next time I am over there.Ausjacko wrote:did you get to ride in it?

Nice car, Sleeping Beauties did an SS1 jag years ago which they took to Pebble beach and won a prize, they copper coated the brake drums, not everyone cup of tea but I didn't mind the look
