MG TD TF 1500 - The resurrection of TD/C 9606

A major milestone has been reached which I need to share--the (temporary) reassembly of the body has occurred in my long, drawn out quest to put the car back on the road (which according to the inspection sticker found on the car when I bought it was 1972).

Still a lot to do, but it must be good to see it taking shape !

Hey guy! Looking at the surroundings I want to know, what are you doing in my garage? Yeh, they all look a lot alike. Good luck with your restoration.

Nice! Once you get this far you'll really feel like you've got momentum.

I'm restoring a TD that has been off the road as long as yours. I've been hauling it around in pieces doing a little here and there since the late 80's. I finally got it into paint earlier this year and it seems to be going really fast now-- I should be done within a year. It is much more motivating when it finally looks like a car!

Good luck!

2 1/2 years later Where does the time go? Before someone comments I purposefully left the powder coating of the wheels for last.

Nice looking MG-TD.
Time to USE/ENJOY/BUT PRESERVE.
Do not change the sequence.

J Cosin: Great job. Perfect color too. :-)

I thought maybe I'd add a before picture taken the day of purchase. Notice the prior owner's liberal use of duck tape to ensure all the pieces stayed together! You can't quite see it but the car was last registered in Washington State in 1972. If anyone lives out that way and wants some "antique" plates I believe I still have both plates free for the taking.
