<< As far as finding parts for my Bugeye in local parts stores, I found a
winner.
They were able to pull from shelves all the tune up parts, oil filters,
bulbs,
belts and
WIPERS!!!! With a phone call they found generators, starters, rebuilt carbs,
wheel bearings and seals, local trans and diff rebuilder, engine rebuild
parts,
NOS electrical parts, (Imagine that they found a 60 Bugeye headlight/ignition
switch 3 blocks away on the shelf!!) And many other items. He had Vic Brit
catalogs, Moss Motoors and AH Spares under the counter. He also knew a few
local shops that actually had experience in MGs and Austin Healeys. He also
pointed me to an upholstery shop that was enthusiastic about working on odd
cars. Now all I need is some money to use all these resourses and I will be
fine! He also pointed me to a shop that does proper inspections on older
cars.
In short...Move to Texas!

No fair keeping the name of this place to yourself! Please consider sending
the name, address and phone number to Andrew Lundgren (e-mail:
lundgren@iname.com). Andrew has about the best listing of Brit Car suppliers
I have ever seen on the Web. Go to: www.itwest.net/~lundgren/mgs.html and
check it out.
We need to get the word out about good places so that they will keep
increasing their business. More business for then will ensure their
longevity, and may even keep parts in production longer. Who knows, prices
may even come down.
Thanks,
