February 8, 2001

Well I guess this is a start...I have finally decided to start this blog. After reading a few restoration projects over the years, and enjoying them, I'm finally going to do my own. The only problem is that I am 6 years into the process. Now to remember it all. I will take it in stages and post pics (I have taken plenty for documentation.)

On February 8th 2001 I purchased my 1953 MG TD. I bought it from a guy in Chocorua, NH. The story goes that this TD was owned by an Air Force Colonel and traveled with him overseas, one place was Tripoli, Libya (there has to be some stories there.) It came back to the states and was in California for a bit then came east and was purchased by the man that I bought it from. I would still like to get a more in depth accounting of where this car has been.

My dad helped me get it to his shop where it HAS been for the past six years. I get to work on it during vacation and on weeks that I may be laid off from work...I live in Buffalo, NY and the car is in NH still. It's a slow process but worth it in the end.
