Come up to Silverton sometime, and I'll take you down Poughkeepsie Gulch in my wife's (stock) FJ-40. You'll shit your pants. ;o)

OK, what about British steel? Wondering how it could ever rust with the constant coating of motor oil, transmission oil, etc. supplied by the wooden main seals.

Some of the Porsche bodies were so bad the joke amongst owners was that on a quiet night you could actually hear them corrode.

That's the one.

We know the vehicle has uncertain ancestry, but as my wife says, "That sucker will go anywhere; it just won't stall..." I rebuilt the roof rails a couple years back, and painted this on the roof

in big letters too. "Why the fuckdid you paint the Nine Inch Nails logo on my Toyota?" "There wasn'tenough room for all the lyrics, honey." There's another Trustafarian* in town who apparently has nothing better to do than race motorcycles, restore old Landcruisers, and volunteer with the local fire department. He must have about six of them, in various stages of deterioration or restoration, depending on how you look at it. I asked him about how he beefs them up so he can use them off road. His response, "Huh?"

That is true. No MGA frame has ever rusted out in the engine compartment. They all rust out under the passenger compartment (at least, the parts that aren't plywood do) and in the chassis rear. The bodies rust everywhere.

My dad bought the '73 new, so I know exactly what has been done. The passenger side tank was the stock original tank, and dad added the driver's side auxiliary tank sometime later on, but he used the factory type tank (the tanks are the same part for either side). The right hand tank has the original filler cap in the original location on a fender that was new about 15 years ago. The other fender I replaced during the rebuild 3 years ago, but GM doesn't make the original style for just a cap anymore, so I got the later style with a door. So I have a fuel door on one side, and a cap on the other. So far nobody has noticed unless it is pointed out to them. 8^)

If I build another auxiliary I haven't decided what to do for the filler yet, but it isn't going to be something hacked together. For fuel feed, I'l probably use a little transfer pump to dump it into one of the other tanks.

True, but you need to take them to a good exterminator every 2 years to get rid of the termites.

Honestly don't recall any wood body parts in the new Aero8 series Morgan.

The older Moggies had several pieces of wood scattered as body and even structural parts. This of course was the 4 wheel series, the early ones only had 3 wheels. Don't remember a lot of wood differences between the Plus4 and the hotrod Morgan Plus8.

The new Morgan which may be returning to these shores for the Nigel Shiftright set is the Aero8, a real hotrod for the old geezer set.

If you think classic Jeep owners are reactionary and conservative, you ain't never met a Moggie owner.
