Any advice is appreciated, for instance, is it important to rebuild the old one, rather than just grab an existing rebuilt wherever I can find one?

Sounds like a great find. In my view, the mechanical aspects are usually less daunting than everything else, and thankfully, MG engines are close enough to American pushrod engines so that most high-quality mechanics and machinists over 40 can handle the work. I can't recommend anyone in particular, since I do all my own work. I do agree with Steve L. that keeping the original engine and drive train is by far the most advisable approach, both from an historical sense and for retaining the highest value for the car. Just make sure the seller gives you all of the parts ("I know it had a crankshaft here somewhere..."). I recommend you get in touch with the local/regional MG clubs and ask for their recommendations re: rebuilders. To each his marque!

Anywhere down that way is great driving fun. That said...the big drawback is too much traffic and too many cyclists powered and human powered by the time of day you guys go driving...just too many people on the roads down that way on the weekends. Same up here in SoCo. I still go out driving in the Scorpion and the modern Mini. But I call it "Dawn Patrol". It's way more fun at the crack of dawn, with the roads just about empty. By the time you guys roll out, the best part of the driving day is over, and I'm back home. Just a thought. Oh, and the OTHER benefit is you still have a lot of daylight left AFTER the drive is over.

It's a nice, altruistic idea, but this club has a hard enough time deciding on drive destinations - do you want your engine rebuilt by such a committee? You will definitely get what you pay for (the term "zero sum" comes to mind). It could work with a more structured organization, or in a high school auto shop, or if you have a close friend in the club who is capable, but I'd be pleasantly surprised to see it work by having a series of tech sessions. My gearbox tech session worked because John's a friend and you all just watched me take it apart, but it's going to be enough work for me to rebuild his gearbox, it takes a back seat to my own projects, and he's going to owe me a lot more than putting together a resource list for club members... For a sense of proportion here, Dawson, the engine I'm rebuilding for my Lotus has taken me 3 months with parts delays, machine shop backlogs, receiving wrong parts, finding new problems, etc., and would cost me $8-10,000 from a professional. Even though your MG should not take as long or cost as much because it is simpler, you want it done correctly, and probably within the next 5 years, I expect. Just trying to be honest here. If someone else wants to disprove my position, please step in. Cheers, Greg Dawson Church wrote: > OK, this sounds great.

It sounds as though you want a shop to do everything for you. Rebuild the engine and trans and assemble everything. In that case you may be limited to shops that are expensive, such as the one used by Gary Phillips in Corte Madera. But they are all expensive. I know Mark Singleton at British European in Cotati and he has done some work for me. He is very expensive but does this type of work and is really good. All the work he has done for me has been first class, but you pay for it. $100 for an oil change for instance. If you are going to do most of the work yourself and are looking for an auto machine shop, I highly recommend Norms Auto Machine Shop on Petaluma Blvd North. Norms been rebuilding engines for over 40 years maybe more and does terrific work. Unfortunately he's busy all the time and may take a long time to finish your engine. Depends on how quickly you want it. He's prices are reasonable but we won't give you a quote on work, because he doesn't know how much time and work it will take until the engine is apart. I just leave my stuff with him and wait for a call. Let us know what you do.

Sorry won't be able to make it since I will be down the penninsula in San Carlos this saturday with my mga. Yes, please try to schedule a marin ride! Donut Shop in Novato on Redwood is down the street from me and would be a great meeting place. (Starbucks and traders joes accross the street). Point Reyes Bear Valley visitor center is also a good lunch spot and then possibily a ride out to Drakes Beach (Nuevo Albion). I agree that bicycle riders also love the back roads of marin but let's not let that stop us. Last saturday I road my bike to Point Reyes and had a 18 car porsche club pass me. Now that my mga is running with out problems (knock on wood) I will try to meet up with you guys on the June ride where ever you have it.

Our club drives have been instrumental in helping me fine tune each of our cars. When I find the link I'll post the gymkhana video link to complement the one you posted - members will get a kick out of what can be done with a car in a tight course in relatively slow speeds. Amazing. Bill, could you send me a PM with more info on finding the Birkin list so I can investigate tracking down some seats?

Of course, if Ron wants to take a break from leading each and every drive, we should pitch in to organize. That would give him a break from the gasoline expense as well. I'm in the last stretches of a total mechanical rebuild on the Lotus, and expect to spend this weekend finishing it up, so hopefully can make the next drive.

I think I can afford that. I will be trying to make both rides this month. But who the hell knows. Stuff happens. The Virgin Islands were as always a great experience. Pia and I had a blast. Living in my own place down there for the first time was exciting. We repainted just about the entire interior of the condo, bought some new furniture, TV, sound system and hung some new art work as well as doing a bit of preventative maintenance. And, we still had plenty of time for snorkeling, exploring, island hopping and thoroughly enjoying more than a dram of rum. It was tough coming back until I laid eyes on our beautiful home here again. Where to be? USVI?...Sonoma County?...tough choice! Thankfully I don't have to choose one or the other, just arrange time every year to enjoy both. I am pining for retirement. Doing a seminar in June to figure out if I can afford it yet. Oh please, please.
