Ooooh, even has a key to start it now, swish!!!

Who did the bodywork?

I have to admit to a wry smile at seeing Ken of all people taking a minor swipe at another member for not cracking on with their car projects!

Oh come on, had to divert attention away from my own woeful project progress for a change!!!!

Jeff Ball.

He is apparently a well known old MG restorer/ fixer.

Good morning. 

Thought I might pop in and write something. 

F133 is currently in car spa in Poland getting some attention. Unfortunately after closer inspection of the work done in UK by a regarded restorer, I lost any trust in people doing their job right without looking at their hands at every possible opportunity. Quite frankly I was stupid thinking that it can be done properly without me being there.
I am not even going to start listing things that were fucked up, said to be done and plainly made worse.

Here is my beauty in current state. You can also hear it roar a bit in a video here:

That looks absolutely  smashing. Well done!

I recall the first time I saw one of these in Menorca in 1993, and I wondered what it was at first.  It looked like a bigger Fiat 126 to my eyes and I was always drawn to them. They were numerous on the island but were not to be seen when I returned in 1997.

Are you sure you don't want to take on a Cadillac next? ;)

I'm sure I have mentioned to you that MrsOrange's job involves testicle removals from living things. She knows how to do it with and without anesthesia. 

I'd like to keep mine for now. 

Other than that, wouldn't get through garage doors and availability of cadillac chod round here is extremely good. 😁

Yes, I know they are popular where you are; that's why I offered.  But given the ongoing danger to your person, perhaps I'll withdraw the offer...
