Crusher0216’s 1975 MG MGB

The engine is back in, and sitting pretty. And now it's home. Dad took it out for a test drive, of course. I drove it a good while before, and it was great! The synchros in the transmission are a little shot, but we'll worry about those later. I'll be looking into it tomorrow. A piece of key is stuck in the key cylinder now too, just need to pull it off and take it to a locksmith. It's also leaking oil from the rear main seal, so we'll get around to replacing that too. Fuel pump decided to die yesterday as well. Add that to the list. Fuel pump has been replaced and drove it around for the second half of the day. Front passenger side wheel bearing sounds like it is starting to go. Rear main seal is leaking, so I added some leak stop additive to the oil. If that doesn't stop it, I'll take it to the guy that rebuilt the engine so he can do some warranty replacement for the seal. Other than that, the brakes work well (enough to stop the car anyways), transmission synchros are shot, so might end up rebuilding the transmission sometime down the line, along with rebuilding the clutch master cylinder. Just some small tweaks here and there, and it should be ready to start making it look pretty. Rinsed it off since I was bored. Even though it doesn't look like much, I still love this car and it is fun to drive.

Discovered that the engine has been rebuilt before. Previous owner heated the front springs and put blocks under the rear axle so the car has been lowered... Very cheaply.Done: Engine Rebuild ($875) Front Springs Rear U-Bolts and shackels Engine is back in Headers, intake, and carburetor are installed Clutch kit is installed Starter is back in (after being made pretty) Water pump installed Alternator is back on Fan and radiator fully installed Engine, tuning, and transmissionWhats left to do: Brakes Making it look prettyAfter that, interior redo and exterior repaint, but thats too far to think about.In desperate need of rebuild and new carburetor.

Engine still at machine shop. (2/20/07) :( (Took some headbolts down to the machine shop yesterday, and I'll be able to pick it up today. 3/7/07)(3/8/07) Finally got the engine back today. Just need to get a new water pump, all new hoses, a Hayne's Manual, clutch, and Weber Carburetor. All those should be ordered during this spring break so I should have everything by the time we're back in school so it should just be putting everything back together.
