The progress seems slow going and unnoticeable because of unseen progress.
Preliminary wiring, floorboards cut and fit, some break adjustments, making copper connector fittings for fuel lines, paint detail etc.
Plus we are waiting for a shipment of parts from England. The cold weather may be the cause of the delay. Weekend off is needed as well.
It is so close to completion and is very exciting to see it all coming together.
One observation, is how tight of a car it is becoming. With all of the correct rubber and felt, the J2 is not the rattling bucket of bolts it once was.
Stay tuned for more progress and photos this week.
The 1933 MG J2 restoration project has been productive over the last few days.
We have mounted the front fenders, and one rear after a holdup. Friday morning we had to visit an upholstery shop to have correct piping made out of seat material, to mount those fenders.
The gas tank is mounted as well as the spare wheel carrier. The reserve and main fuel valve, and associated small fuel lines. The front valances were fitted and trimmed and are getting touch up in the paint shop.
We assembled the gages in the dashboard, with some modifications from origional. Flat black finish verses machined aluminum. We have added a clock, water temperature gauge and a PA tachometer. Then on the right bottom corner we installed a starter push button as opposed to the foot starter button.
The black dials and chrome trim make for an attractive racing style dash.
Today we will tackle the forth fender other ajustments as we move ahead.
