Almost Done With Paint And Interior
Posted on: Monday December 23, 2013
Shipped the car out in April 2013 to a local shop for re-paint and replace interior. Sent them the body shell with drive train removed. 9 months later, looks like it is ready for me to pick up ! Seems like a long time to get this done, but the guy is a pro, and did a lot better work than I would have been able to do. Plus I hate sanding. Next steps are to put my rebuilt engine, OD transmission, Herbold triple, and Maniflow free-flow exhaust back in. Chuck Dec 23, 2013
Black Friday 2012: Pulling A Lump
Posted on: Saturday November 24, 2012
Pulled the engine from the MGC on Friday, in prep for bay cleanup and engine upgrades. Taking the engine out without transmission was probably the right choice for a one-man operation, but can see putting back as one unit will be a better path. After removal of starter and all trans bolts (including stone guard ;-), key steps for me were: - Support the transmission with a block or jack - Remove engine mount bolts from block, remove engine mount from body on LHS - Move hoist up and...
Engine Bay Phase II
Posted on: Saturday November 5, 2011
Finally got everything out of the engine bay, and ready for cleanup and painting. A nice trick that I of course got from a tip on the message board was to bolt a 4x4 with castors to the cross-member so I can move the body around as needed. We call this a "Shopping Cart" front end, of course. Another job after the engine bay cleanup will be replacing the wiring harness and cleaning up the instrument panel. A before picture below. -Chuck
Cleaning The Engine Bay - Phase 1
Posted on: Sunday March 20, 2011
After pulling the 1622 engine, I've moved on to getting the engine bay cleaned up. In this phase I've removed the steering rack, shocks, heater, and the front wiring harness. This part of the job hasn't been that hard, in fact a guilty pleasure in removing that old Frankenstein wiring harness ! The next phase will be a lot harder, power wash to remove old gunk, followed by wire brush, sanding, and cleaning out all the nooks and crannies in preparation for painting.
