Second restoration 2004: I have had many happy miles motoring in Our MG. We take the MG to Watkins Glen to see the vintage races and have a real blast. I've been to the local club's autocross sessions, but I'm not too fast! Cruise nights and mingling with car buddies is my summer pastime. In 2004 Our MG got hit in a parking lot and creased the rear fender! After first fuming and fussing, we decided to get the MG all fixed up and repainted since it had been over 20 years since the rebuild and paint job!
Here she is the day I got her back from D & M Superfinish with a fresh paint job in Glacier White August 2004. It is the same shop that did the sheet metal repair 20 years ago. This is the side that was hit.
September 2006 OUR MG had an accident - Just before labor day, I was pulling into a cruise night, when a car ran the stop sign across from me, hit broadside by another car, and pushed into our MG. I and a friend are unhurt, since we were stopped at the time. Nobody was hurt, but the MG steering was wrecked. The damage was mostly to the drivers front fender, valence, trim and front bumper, including major damage to the rack and steering tie rods. The car was repaired and is back to like new, as of the end of October! Here's a before and after repair view:
