John McKeating's Journal

We moved to Upstate NY last March and I immediately began my search for a project car. MG's had been among the hottest (and most expensive) hot cars to own for a kid growing up in Belfast. Finally, with my family grown and my career idling along, I have the time and a little money to spend on my boyhood dream - an MG in my garage. I bought a Damask Red '77 off Ebay. Nasty body damage to the left rear fender and rear boot lid and valance ensure I will have to learn something about bodywork and welding. A dirty and tired engine bay speak of the mechanical work ahead. So judging from the time frames listed here in the MG Experience Journals - I should be in for two or three years of weekends full of MG restoration frustration, greasy fingernails and busted knuckles.

I can't wait.
