Like many MGs in our shop, this car had been sitting for many years and needed some TLC. The owner decided to take it a step further than a simple awakening, so it is receiving rust repair/paint, a drivetrain rebuild, and a new interior.
inner rust repaired and the outer sill patch being applied bad wheelarch rust had to be cut out and replaced with a section from a new quarter panel simialr rust on both sides of the car in all the typical areas
internal structure repaired and fender bottom repaired fixing the dogleg section
all spotwork completed and the car is ready to go to the painter for final sanding/prep/paint
back in black
rebuilt engine and refurbished OD
Rube Goldberg in nature, yes, but set up to run the engine and gearbox to break in the engine, check oil pressure, and test the operation of the overdrive. Engine running smooth and strong and overdrive shifting perfectly Excellent oil pressure as we bed-in the cam and lifters at 2200 RPM
new panel kit and carpet set installed Refreshed engine bay, note reversion to non-boosted brakes and full conversion to early HS4 carbs
