[LarryT (l02turner]

Hey Rick --
   You bought it!  Good for you!  I'm sure you're enjoy driving it. 
BTW,The sound is unique as you know.  Not
Ferrari unique but unique just the same.  I recenly installed an 
Ansa exhaust on my MG - hopefully I'll
be able to start it soon and hear how it sounds.

   Now the fun part (for me) starts - going thru all the systems 
and planning their repair. ;-) finding parts, deciding
how to proceed - that kind of stuff -

   BTW, I did a full restore on my 66 MGB and regret that was my 
only choice.  It's a major big deal to
do a project like this, much better to tackle small projects one at 
a time IMHO.

   Good luck and pls keep us informed.
.
Sincerely,
