MG MGA - First drive 1960 coupe

Well its been a long time since my first post that I found in the archives june 25 1996 . My plan was for an easy restore in a couple of months like they do on TV now . After having the car painted and engine rebuilt the car languished under blankets . Since meeting my friend Gerry he has breathed new life into the Mga coupe and today we are going to drive it for the first time . We have run 2 cycles on the engine and everything seems fine . The gas tank filler tube was clogged and Gerry solved that , today we are reinstalling the tank and will be driving for the first time . No Glass or seats or door hardware and a crap load of other stuff . I want to thank all and this BBS for the great wealth of info especially my friends in Alaska . I am taking it to the GOF in ocala Fl this weekend if only to drive it 1/2 mile to the show grounds . Here are some piks I took yesterday . I will post a video on youtube if everything goes as planned . http://s271.photobucket.com/albums/jj134/mariesigns/mg%20coupe/
