1955 mgTD

This was a charity build sent from Withoutregrets.org. Craig was a 63 year old father of a 16 year old girl.  Craig had an incurable metastaic lung cancer.  Craig's dream had always been to restore his 1952 MG TD for his daughter to drive.  As his daughter was turning 16, Craig was unfortunately no longer able to do this kind of labor.  Craig was a retired member of the United States Marine Corps and Without Regrets was honored to make this father's dream come true. Thank you Wonders and Worries for sending this family to us.  Upon first inspection, I felt that we could get it roadworthy in a timely fashion.... was I ever wrong!  sourcing parts from the UK was a nightmare and every bolt was rusted solid. Brian Shaw whom owns Silverado Automotive in Austin Texas was gracious to step in with 100% of the mechanical issues as I stayed focused on the paint and body.  $ months past the deadline, this little car didn't turn out half bad.  3rd Gear Customs didn't have a chance without Brian Shaw and his Silverado Team!

Found in a barn...waiting for help
