Thursday Car Blogging

Thursday car blogging is back...

I finally got around to replacing the bad brake caliper on the MGA this weekend. The weather was so wonderful, that I had to get out with the top down (of course).

I replaced the rear hub oil seals, replaced the brake shoes, and put on freshly turned brake hubs. During the week I was able to pick up my rebuilt clutch pressure plate and water pump (many thanks to Southeastern Brake & Clutch for the wonderful work they did...which ended up being a lot cheaper than buying new parts).

The engine is out of the machine shop, and I hope to go pick it up sometime in the next couple of weeks.

In other news, a friend of mine down in Florence, Alabama recently picked up a new addition to his family. A 1959 TR3A (click for pictures). His email to me simply said, "What have I done?" He's got a lot of work ahead of him, but it's truly a diamond in the rough...a really thick rough at that. heh
