Basket case in a Barn. First part of the restoration of a 1952 MG TD. We go up to the previous owner's barn and load up the car. Unloading, sorting and evaluation are next.

When was the restoration started before you got it?

[@therestorationshop]

The best I can tell it was started in 1981. It changed hands in 1986 and again 10 or so years ago. I'm still trying to get more detailed history and I'll post what I find as I find it.

33 months later and still not finished.

[@therestorationshop]

Correct, I hope to have it done in the Spring of 2021.

@@therestorationshop I applaud your perseverance with this project. The green paint looks badass. Wishing you a happy New Year.

@@cyrilhudak4568 Thanks! The amount of time I thought it would require to complete the car was pretty accurate. The amount of time I thought I could spare to work on it wasn't even remotely close to reality. I'm am happy that I do get blocks of time to work on it and continue to make progress. Wishing you and your's a Happy New Year as well!
