I was horrified to realise earlier that it’s almost a year since I published my last post here, so as winter draws in I will be making an effort to finish off some unpublished drafts and write up the latest…
As I continue fitting up the bodyshell with parts and turning this thing back into an actual car, the jobs are starting to jump around a bit from one area to another, so I’m starting to save up my updates…
Not a great deal to say about this one, but I thought it was well worth a mention. In my quest to recreate a factory MGB GT V8 engine bay appearance as closely as possible, one of the trickier parts…
