Western Washington All British Field Meet

Since I had so few miles on the car I decided to tow the car to the Seattle area rather than try and drive through the heat over the mountains.  U haul car hauler worked very well with my Suburban.

I took my chrome side strips over to Seattle, I hope Art Brass Plating will be the ones to re-chrome them, it is a chore to find platers anymore.

The show was fun on Saturday, there were cars of many brands, and styles.  It was shady for us, in the sun it was warm but we stayed cool.  The grandkids had a large playground to keep them busy.

Magnette and '63 MGB share some old-times
in my son-in-law's garage.

Birch gray all waxed.

Three Magnettes were present; Dave Wall's, Ian McGowan's and ours.

6.5 liter Bentley engine, 1939 I believe.

Finishing up, more or less.

The car has been competing with summer, another MGA and a Humber Super Snipe.  The main delay was with the carbs, the  rebuilt carbs leaked, one at the junction of the carb base and float bowl and one at the jet.  I picked a rebuilder off the MG experience website, new to me. He had them over 5 months the first time for the rebuild, and now two months to try and fix the leaks.  I had tried new grommets, gasket sealer and prayer, to no avail.

In the meantime I have finished the dash, the parcel shelf and a few other details.  Like seatbelts, lap only front and back.

To get back to driving,  I put the carbs from my other Maggie into this one, she runs well.  I am towing the car to Washington for the ABFM near Seattle this weekend.  I just haven't had the carbs in long enough to try and drive that far with an unproven set of systems.

Waxed and ready to go.  We hope to meet with the original owner of the car in Seattle!  Hope she likes the work I have done.

Ready to ramble.
