Hello all sorry for not replying for a while. My moggie went on the road last week for its first test runs. Find the rattles and stuff. Drives lovely and a great feeling getting it on the road

I wholeheartedly agree, you really brought her back to life! It gives me hope regarding the restoration of my late grandfather's Moggie, that I'm going to start as soon as the pandemic ends.

It's a very rewarding experience and enjoyed most of it.. Its a great feeling bringing something back to life.. This pandemic is crazy and hopefully will end soon. The only upside is it gives me more time to tinker around with the car

Eh, I'm envious of you, I have to work more because of that pandemic! Still, I'll be following your (and the others') restoration projects while I'm waiting!
