Bill Schultz's Journal

Well Its 3/07/09 and I have not made an entry since 07 by the looks of things. I have since put the new convertile top on, this was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. It only took a couple of hours, the only problem was withstretching the top over the top rail which attaches to the windshield. I did not get it perfectly straight and there is a small "pucker" on the driver side corner. Not too bad though.
I also replaced the right side kingpin. Another project which was not a bad as I thought, It did take a few weekends to accomplish as I was working outside and the weekend weather did not cooperate. I think it took two full days - maybe 16 hours or so, to replace, I also replaced the shock bumper and and the wheel bearings. This was in the summer of 07 - The car passes state ispection after the work was complete. I have just purchased a set of Kinkpins - off ebay - and will get into the left side kingpin this summer. ( I think) I am going to start accumulating the misc hardware to accomplish the project.
I purchased a new steering wheel and will put that on in the spring.
Back to the kingpin, I started a journal with the steps involved, and hope to publish it on this site when I finish the kingpin project.
Later

Just as I am starting to begin my journal, My neighbor from downstairs knocks on my door and presents me with a bowl of homemade vanilla ICE CREAM. What a great way to start. My neighbor has also lived in Great Britain for a couple of decades so that is also a positive thing. I have finally moved my MGB to my home in just the last couple of weeks. It has been in storage, and I have finally retrieved the car from the ex's garage. I have owned it for 9, yes NINE years and only had it on the road, legally, for one summer. It never fails to start though, even when I neglect it for a full winter.
So far I have replaced:
Brake Cylanders
Brake Master Cylandar
Oil Pressure Line
Fuel Pump
Air filters (K&N)
Rear Lenses in tail lights
Windshield washer motor
Generator
Right hand mirror
I added a voltmeter
Much more to do, I am ready to put on a new vinyl top, it only has the hardtop now.
FRONT BUSHINGS. It failed a safety inspection because of "bad ball joints" little did I know it does not have ball joints! Tally HO! Onward I go!
