Phil Wydra replaced his front wheel bushings at Steve Skaggs’s shop. The results were quite noticeable.

  Dave Novak fired up the computer and showed a portion of a video entitled “An MG is Born”. A fascinating and detailed insight into the engineering, design and restoration of the world’s most popular and well-known sports cars; and a fantastic reference tool for the existing or would-be MGB restorers. The DVD is available in the club library.
