Engine and Exhaust System

Oil Change
Exhaust System Repair
Maxam, and was brought into the shop for exhaust work. Casey put the finishing touches on the car by sorting out things underneath the dash. After he was done, the car was cleaned up and ready to be returned to the owner!

We received a very nice Christmas letter today from Ted in Kalamazoo who, this summer, completed his TC restoration. That, in itself, doesn't differentiate him from a number of enthusiasts -- but he began the restoration in 1966! I sold him a crankshaft for the engine in 1971. That made me think of all the letters, cards, and notes we've received this Christmas. There was a very cute card from Meg who has an originally owned 77 supercharged MGB which we restored; Christina who does our advertising; Patty, an avid, dedicated, and thoroughly octagonal MGA owner; from our Paint supplier; from Mike, Neil, John and the staff at British Motor Heritage; from Casey and Dave at CD's engine service; from Colleen, an MGB owner; from Dave and Linda, owners of T's, A'a, and B's; from David, Lori, Sharon, and Phil at APT; from Kevin, our insurance man; from Roche and Richard and staff at the MGOC; from Steve, temporarily without an MG, in Tennessee, a former employee; from Rick, from the Carolinas, a Tech Seminar graduate; from Dave and Sue from the greater Detroit area; from Hank and Carol from NC; from Doug, an MGA Twin Cam owner, and our accountant; from Tim and Sue, from Canada; from Ken and Don and Staff at FUN services. Christmas is such a GREAT season!

Steering and Suspension

Suspension Service/Repair
We're starting the week by finishing a couple of projects. In the first picture we have John tuning a TR6 that has been into the shop for extensive brake and suspension work. Below that, we have a car that belongs to Mark Mausser of New York City. This is a beautiful 1275 RWA Midget that has come into the shop for a flowed cylinder head, a MSD ignition, and a 5-speed gearbox from Riverside. The car is running well and appears to be ready for its 1000 mile shakedown before the customer arrives!

Brake Service
John, Caroline, and their son James are in Sonoma, California this week for the NAMGBR event. As you can see, work at the shop will continue in their absence! Above, Greg is doing some minor brake work to a 1955 TF. Below that we have a 1938 TA.

Exterior/Interior

Body/Collision Repair
Another customer called from Traverse City. We have his wife's TF in the shop -- she purchased it, used, in California in 1957! He and his brother-in-law, an Austin Healey owner, are coming by on Friday to go over our estimate for mechanical and body repair -- it's pretty tough!

Electrical Service/Repair
Curt finished the Volvo and then worked on the MGA for which he's just completed the gearbox; Casey worked on a 1977 MGB with a faulty servo and faulty rear brakes, along with a host of electrical problems. Gosh -- there is nothing wrong with the original wiring in the car. Why some owners or mechanics cut into the wiring, add wires (in a rainbow of colors), wire around and through switches, blinkers, -- well, it makes our job more difficult! I worked nearly all day fabricating the repair panel for the Sunbeam Tiger and welding it into place.
