Fine, TBM! I would be very happy if you would report here about your experiences with your MGB GT restoration. Will do - I've got about another three months credit card payments left on the Mog, so will start a thread when I take the plunge  The MG will also be financed by credit card

First direct have just offered an interest free credit card for 18 months I think. Not a balance transfer thing just a use your card and don't pay interest thing.
Might be useful?

Might be useful? Just had a look and I 'think' you need to be a First Direct Current Account holder to apply for one. Also I'd probably pay by cash (so I can negotiate a better price) so would do a cash advance from my Card to my bank account on 'zero interest with a handling fee'. Will split it across two or three cards (I have seven and used five for my Mog)

TBM it is many years if not decades since I last had a MGB GT, long before the availability of the interweb, and at the time I found Lindsay Porters GUIDE TO PURCHASE & DIY RESTORATION to be a worthwhile Haynes publication. Haynes number F303. ISBN 0 85429 303 5 I found it provides a real world idea relative to corrosion repairs and much else, thus providing an all round insight. Of course I suspect there will be more than enough detailed info on the web.. Good luck on finding a B that fits your needs..

Good luck with the new project Phil. A B GT may still grace my garage (one day)

If you are not already a First Direct customer then I think they are offering £175 for transferring as well. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/compare-best-bank-accounts/#fdswitchI have been with them for a while and have found them to be better than my experience with Barclays who have descended from solid to poop in the last few years.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

The rear parcel shelf storage is complete and looks great. I should be able to store a fair bit of stuff in there, driving gloves, cap, jumper for when it gets cold etc. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/03/08/image000000-15.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/03/08/image000000-17.jpeg) The carpet certainly finishes it off nicely, the wires are for the heated seats. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/03/08/image000000-18.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/03/08/image000000-16.jpeg) I am visiting on Monday and hopefully it looks just as good in person.
