    Well, the coolant leak was indeed in the tstat area. Yesterday, I put another set of new gaskets there, but this time used permatex high temp gasket maker between all gaskets/faces. Let it dry 24 hours, and refilled with coolant this afternoon. Flawless 15 mile drive home

    No issues with the fuel either. Yorker....all I know is the tank was cleaned 2 years ago, so hopefully the symptoms don't come back. If so, a tank is not a big deal.

    Here it is back home, and it fit into my crazy garage winter config setup just fine. You can see in bay 1, the Imp sideways-with 2 MGs behind it, and the Rover in bay 2 with the ATV against the wall......5 vehicles, a plow blade, and a grader in a 2 car garage....now that's a use of space!!!!!

        Presuming you're married, you must have a VERY understanding spouse!

            Ted.....we're lean out here too. That's leftover from a foot or so we got 2 weeks ago.

            Mark....yes, married....very understanding and the best She knew what she was getting into!! The MGs existed before the marriage, but the Imp (did not blink an eye at me trying to ship a car on a boat from the UK) and the Rover came after. She loves the cars, just not the working on them part! Heck, our honeymoon involved driving the MGBGT 3000 miles up the coastline from LA to Washington!
