The MGB Comes Home

After about ten years in storage in a barn in Ramona, the Chronovore (Time Eater) has come home.


I think it could use a wash, don't you? After that, we'll rebuild the engine and transmission. The body is in great shape. Very little rust and the paint stayed pretty fresh all the while it was in the barn.

Update: After a delicate sponge bath given while the Chronovore was still in the garage, she shined up very nicely.


I had to do it in the garage since my driveway has a slope and the car doesn't start yet.

Howard, the car was stored in a barn in a dry location. It didn't get any sun and despite all the dirt, the top was still in great condition. As I recall, it's just a standard MGB top, probably from Moss Motors.

I'm glad you liked the pictures! I can't wait to drive it again.
