The Next Project A 1970 -MG,BGT

2005 The Last MG seems to have died a death, There are a few more reasons to the project not getting done , whilst looking to re Shell the 68 i found this
to tell the truth it was a steal for its price, its not Mint but it does have a lot of History Like a ring binder full of History
	With work like this already done Makes my life easy there is a good few bits, That need doing on Her
But There is still a lot of work to be done. Starting with a good clean down and use a few of the bits from the old MG shot blast and Cleaned to get the chrome Bits. The Engine Is first		New Braided Oil cooler Hoses Shot blast rocker and a re paint Chrome rocker T bars full Service Strip a few more Bits out and Clean and Paint
Inside Is Also on the books as being a 1970 car its short of every thing a general tidy up chrome door furniture center console with custom made trims with a few Extra's
Ok so there now has been a few Shows And a bit of time gone by and we have bought a few things and spent a lot of time messing. but it now looks a whole lot better, After the center console re fit & Leather now with a radio you need some speakers
	New door Cards / Handles Chrome & Chrome screws and a few other bits
	Another Problem was the clutch and brakes with a very bad leak losing the fluid fast...! That calls for a full strip down clean and re build of the brake and clutch pedals. Full shot blast and paint / new seal kit's for the clutch and brakes

	Now there is another place that is very good ok not as good as this web site.!!! E -Bay you can pick up anything on there Like refurbish rostyle wheels	Old
New spare set while old are refurbed	Refurbed await paint
OK so now the car is in the garage for the bad winter,. ? so now time to do some good work on her, first she has been running a bit funny lumpy even and bad starting and real bad petrol fumes even over flowing the carbs. So lets strip the carbs down..?
Now Time for the out side to have a turn Again the old bumpers where looking a bit on the bad side so time for Some new ones... and a new front grill	old Chrome	New Chrome Painted Backs

Well Its Christmas and that dose not stop us working on the car The new Bumpers are on new side / Indicator units And one of my X mas Gifts a new Mota Lita Wheel ..WoW.!!!!		with all this work being done out side the under body has not had a good going over so it gets the next bit of a work out full under body wax oil and arches
	And The work goes on
The back end of the B skips around so much you would think its trying to fly , so now comes the Spax rear Kit and new U bolts
	And the Front end gets it to with 3/4" Roll bar and polly Kit and the old shocks get new 30% up rated
		Old 1/2"
New 3?4"	Now we await some more of the chrome work to tidy the car up even more... just a few of the bits changed over

	A few bits got swapped over as you can see from door Locks to new rear lock cap even bits in the engine bay locks and hinges
	Just to keep you all up to speed a few before and after Shot's
Oh Dear the car has had a wee. to tell more of the truth it's fuel		On a closer look at the fuel tank it was coming out at some speed
	Parts Req 1 . Fuel tank 2 . Fuel line 3 . Sender unit 4 . sender seal kit 5 . Fitting Kit
	On striping the old tank out the boot floor had a good clean any small bit of rust was cleaned then treated then painted
		Next was to prep the tank clean and paint for fitting

once painted tank re fitted with new fuel line and off she Goes again....? Ready for Drive it Day 2006 First club run out with the old girl
Oh NO.!!! we have found the Tin worm in the back drivers side of the floor pan . all this rust hidden by BOG well only one thing for it strip down clean up Cut out and fit a new floor pan		The passenger side has a small hole in the floor as well this can just be patched up
	one good thing with the hole carpet striped out and the seats it given me time to clean the trim and seats
	Ok so now the car has been to Mr MG ENTUNE 2000 Advised to have full floor pan in the drivers side and a repair patch for the passenger side New heritage panel ready and waiting
		New floor fitted and a good job done too By Entune 2000 A Full clean up of the seat's and trim can now be done due to there being nothing in the car
		While this work is being sorted time to play with other things The car now has K&N's so to do the job right you must re jet / fit new Needles type 6 the car has no other engine mods apart from K&N's
		aswel as all the other bits that needs doing the front end is up in the clouds after doing the back shocks and putting up rated shocks on the front a new set of springs are called for as well as a full poly kit ( Fast Road )
	Also you can see in the back ground the spare fuel pump that we have is also up for a treat the whole thing has had a clean down and started to be painted and ready for turning into a solid state pump.	Ok so its getting a little intense now the work on the car Full polly kit on the front with all the fun of trying to build the front the compressor gose and blows up on me... !
		Next on the list is now the rear Polly KIT
Old Polly Kit		New Polly Kit
	And full strip down clean and paint of all
Feb 07 Ok so there has been even more work done on the old girl now The engine is coming out and being played with.
	The engine bay is now empty ish and has given me the chance to give it the once over
With the engine out and being taken to bits		At the same time i can get cleaning parts and also painting them ready for when it all gose back in..!

At the same time the gear box mounts needed to be sorted also the mounts where shot new unit cleaned painted and new mounts
	Also the front cross member had new Polly pads fitted just because its easy er with the engine out
Ok while we wait for the work to be done on the Engine a few other bits can be done to the car Like a Kenlow Fan unit		And also fitting new backing units to the front brake units as the old ones had died
	As for the engine the list starts 1. Peter Burgess Fast Road Head 2. + 60 bore 3. High Lift Cam 717 4. Ground crank shaft +10 5. Lightened fly wheel 6. Balanced engine 7. New up rated oil pump 8. Magtronic Points kit 9. Sump Baffle 10. New Push rods with Tapits 11. A John tune up..?
The Old Cylinder Head		The New Peter Burgess Stage 2Cylinder Head The USA version with the Air injection hole blocked / plugged
	At this moment in time we are staying with the Cast manifold but put the exhaust wrap around the unit to try and help With a standard Stainless Exhaust system
Now at the same time all this work is being done we also changed the washer get system from the old pump button to the new electric system
And to also help the new engine we have added a Kenlowe fan kit and also a warning light in the cab so you know when its on / if its working
Ok we have now got the engine back from Entune 2000 Where John has been playing and building what seems to be a fast road 1860 engine.!		The engine is now back into the car Oil filled - Water filled Carb's set up and on
	we are now ready to try to fire the car up The engine has been turned over by hand and checked and the oil pressure is up on the engine
When the car engine turns over all we see is smoke the unit pictured to the right burns out it has been set up correctly so now strip this dizzy out and fit the spare one we have that has points in it so the car can get some miles in before it gets a good beating ..!		Ok the engine is set up and runs Only problem we have is after 200 miles the front of the engine looses oil and it dies
Not A problem the car goes back to the place that had built the engine and they make a whole new Engine to the same spec and it Runs like a dream. After all we dont always get things right first Time....!!	So with the new engine comes the new Exhaust for the Car a full stainless system First is the Back box Next is the front pipes
	Next was a few bits like gas strut kits for the Boot & Bonnet of the car

As Well on the inside of the car We still have the inerta real seat belts but we have fitted 3 point harnnes to the drivers side		The roof has been next in line for work the place that sorted the engine had a late B come in that has a A1 Mint Britax roof for sale so off we go to strip the old unit out and fit it into our car

Next came the deal of a life time i found a set of wheels from Flea Bay New 14" and missed out on the time Rang the company that had them for sale they had now put tyres on and wheel centres and came with wheel nuts		Only problem we had was with the wheel hub there is some lips on the hub that stoped the wheels sitting on the hub true and would send the wheel out when you spun it.
