MG TC Restoration project : MG TC 7346/XPAG 8142. 8-10 December 1948 build date. Delivered Melbourne 1949. 20 years under "restoration" with several owners, finally making some progress. In six months I have: rebuilt the engine, rear axle, front axle, stripped the chassis and commissioned the fitting of a new nearside main channel. I have built the body tub and frame to the point shown here. The engine uses an XPAW block, bored 0.030" with new pistons to suit, with balanced rotating and reciprocating components. The head has TF valves with suitable porting and matching of manifolds. A pair of new 1 1/4" SUs has been sourced from Midel. A pair of new half shafts were fitted with new hubs and modern lip seals along with sealed bearings. A 4.55:1 BMC A type diff has been modified to fit the TC banjo housing. The front axle has been checked for alignment and fitted with new king pins and bushes. The stub axles, prone to cracking, have been replaced by David Mawer Engineering. Target for a potentially drivable chassis is August now that the chassis is ready for painting and fit-up. With the bodywork well advanced, all things being equal, the car could be ready for painting by the end of 2008. Originally made with Clipper Blue paint and beige upholstery, TC 7346 will now be finished in Sequoia Cream with Green upholstery and a tan hood. Much reference to Mike Sherrell's tome: "TCs Forever."

Kurnell Catamaran Club 5.2.06 : Kurnell is located on the southern shore of Botany Bay just south of Sydney. Aircraft from Kingsford Smith International fly overhead which just adds to the attraction of this beautiful waterway. Winds of 10-20 knots fill in from the north east on most summer days while the water stays relatively flat providing fantastic sailing conditions. Cats sailed include the full range of Nacras, local Windrushes and Maricats, Taipans and Capricorns. The international class Tornados are fast, too. Not may Hobies these days but a few F18s are sailed in the fleet from time to time. I used to sail a Nacra 5.0 about 13 years ago and have enjoyed meeting many old friends while shooting the boats.
