So long time no updates lol.

Got busy with the MGB and the 110 got put on the back burner. I have since moved to Augusta GA and now after a second move I'm getting settled and ready to get back to work on the 110.

I was driving her to the new house and unfortunately the Transmission blew it's guts out I think.

So I have started the search for a replacement. So I can get the 110 the way she needs to be.

I have decided that she will be getting a lift and some much bigger tires as part of her future.

My pleasure, that was my geico road side in action. They have towed the old girl twice now.

Might have found a new trans in PA for her. Waiting to hear back on a few details.

Found a trans set up at a good price, waiting to find out the gear ratio's in it.

If it has the same ratio's as my current trans 35-37" tires would not require a re-gear. I'm building towards that 37" goal

It will work either way, but with the standard ratios it just makes adding bigger tires easier. If it's a highway ratio I might just end up going the automatic route since I will have to re-gear. Off road the auto is damn nice

So got the transmission all sorted out and the real good news story was $125 for the LT95 with Overdrive! So best of both worlds, couldn't be happier even though I have to drive to PA to pick it up lol.

Now to make some room in the garage this weekend.
