David:
Several years ago I mentioned to my wife how I thought A MGBGT would be
a great car as a everyday driver. She found one in the paper for sale
and bought it for me as a surprise ($800) .
Five years, later I have a nice driver.
The body had no rust but I could have paid for the restoration if I had
bet people that they could not close their eyes and touched the car
without touching a dent.
Body work is not brain surgery but does take a touch and sure is messy.
The bright side was for five years she couldn't complain about me being
in the garage.
Bob
