That is why mine was named The Flying Pig, my wife said the "pigs might fly before it is finished"!!!! only took 5 years, bought it December 2007 and finished and back on the road on 01 December 2012
Mind you I have owned the MGBGT since May 2002 and its still in the garage, It is quite warm and dry though.
