Good job, Yes some of us are working on our cars also. I have just installed a walnut dash ,Auto Meter gages, and a Nardi steering wheel, mine is VW biased. You can probably get the transportation dept to call it a constructed vehicle and use the serial number of the kit as the car’s serial number. Mine is a CMC also. By the way, this is a never ending hobby, there is always something to do or improve.

Well guys - with the break in weather and lifting of my spirits - my "hand-me-down" Chevette based CMC/Fiberfab MG TD kit car fired itself up and made a maiden voyage around my neighborhood block under its own power! No hood, no upholstery, no door latches, - not even a windshield. But she ran proudly - considering the engine had not been fired up for around 20 years!
One small step for this little project car - but a major milestone for me in my quest to complete this kit! With a little luck I'll have it road worthy by summertime.
I'm at least the third owner and have taken on not only completion of the car - but correction of innumerable instances of poorly done work by unknown, former builders in the process. Its coming together - slowly. But having her come to life for even a few minutes was inspiring. And the fact that she pulled a small hill on her own was simply thrilling! :)
A lot of work is left. And soon the dreaded hat-in-hand trip to my local DOT office to negotiate a title for this little orphan car. I'm still not clear whether I need to install a catalytic converter or not. One of the prior build attempts put a new exhaust system in place without a converter. I'll leave well enough alone until they tell me otherwise. Who knows - maybe they'll title it as a reconstructed 1952 MG TD and I won't have to fret over the inspection nonsense.
not up here yet. to much dirt on the roads from cleaning the snow up. We might even have more snow. It's way to early for me to get my car out. ... From:...
