Bill Schultz's Journal

Well, after selling my B a couple of years ago, I thought i felt some relief as it was always in the driveway, wishing I would drop $5000,00 on it and make it all better.
But, the travel itch took hold and I sold the MG and my Bike and went to Paris for 10 days. It was a great trip and I have no regrets about selling the vehicles to folks who will definitely get more use out of them and give them the attention they need.
So, a year went by, and another year, I started planning a trip to Italy, Egypt or Israel. But, I noticed I was watching, checking Craig's list and would inevitably enter MGB in the search window. This lead to a few emails going out, I really didn't have the cash but knew I was going to, eventually. Then a phone call here. Scheduled to look at one and it sold the day before I was going to see it. Then another. This one was an equal distance from my house, 80 miles, as was the other one, but this one didn't run. Actually, the engine is frozen. Anyway, I made the deal and my buddy with a dolly and a repair plate helped me get it home (For a mere $200.00) and now it resides in my drieway, looking like it would like me to drop $5000.00 on it to make it all well and pretty. This '74 is in a little better shape but needs some persistant care. Mystery Oil is working on the cylenders and I am slowly getting the electrical sorted out. New Alt and Coil ready to go in. Throw some wheel brake cylenders on the two read wheels and I will be ready for a ride in the Berkshire Hills sometime next summer....I hope! So glad to be back on this site too!
I will keep you posted...
