60 MGA Coupe 13 yr resto drives

Believe me its been along time I think I got the car around 1995 or so . It still needs glass and seats interior whole bunch of stuff but for the first time yesterday it moved under its own power . I got burned out on the project and left it under blankets here in Florida . I met my buddy Gerry and things changed , he has been a major help in getting this car back on the road plus a crap load of cash over the years . http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj134/mariesigns/?action=view&current=007-5... http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj134/mariesigns/?action=view&current=004-4... http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj134/mariesigns/?action=view&current=003-4... http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj134/mariesigns/?action=view&current=005-5...

Yes Iris blue it was painted about 5 to 7 years ago . The painter offered to do my 60 mk 2 jag .. I thought $1600 was to much / out of my budget then what a mistake . He retired and doesnt paint cant find anyone around now worth a hoot . Going to take it to the GOF < gathering of the faithfull > in Ocala Fl this weekend see what the MGeezers think

Hey, another Coupe. Do you have the chrome that goes around the windscreens? I've been looking for a rear set for my '58 since 1988!

Here is a link to the show pictures there is a cool one of an mg on a barge I am guessing crossing the ST johns river . Thanks Classic Motorsports for the TEE shirts we did a Simon SEZ deal and it went over very nicely . http://www.mgcarclubflorida.org/mgclubflorida/images/gof08/gof08.htm

Nice barge pictures! We have a couple of free ferries near here that hold one school bus, two cars, or three roadsters we're crossed with the Miata Club a couple of times. Makes me nervous.
