MG in the shed!

Finally moved the MG round from the garden and into the shed! Me and my brother moved it out of the space its been in for a few years, took a while bacause it was such a tight squeeze as the builders had moved a load of tiles in behind it. It took us ages to move it into the drive yesterday, due to dimming light we decided to postpone moving it untill this evening. After five years of talking to mates about doing this MG project, we finally moved the MG into its home for the duration of the restoration. Literally one of the happiest days for a long time. Watch this space......

Shed

Havn't updated on the shed recently, but a lot has gone on since the last time. I now have all of the roofing sheets fitted and the rear built which was very difficult because of the angles which the wall forms, also the wall is not level which was very complicated when doing the drainage. We put the new guttering on the exsting shed, which I think looks very smart, but we are unsure of what to do with the downpipe for it. I also painted the walls which looks alot better than befor although it took a while and a lot of paint. Last weekend saw the floor put in which makes it feel like we are coming to the end and I can finally get started on the MG.
 Jobs left to do are: paint the bottom of the walls, fit the ends of the plastic sheets and fit the drainpipe. On the MG side of things I had to free the front left hub as the calliper had siezed onto the disk, this was achieved by using Wd40, a piece of wood and a lump hammer, to great effect. I then put the wheels on and pumped them up, ready for it to be moved in the next week or so..
