Hello guys I have done the rear deck mods. just some finishing work and color back on it and it will be done the ceramic plug leads are on their way so hope to fire it up again soon. I'm hoping to get it to the MG classic in November but I won't be able to drive it as I have had a bit of a...

All the original cars have them plumbed in the bottom so I don't see that being an issue, I'm back on deck so will courier the flanges on Monday. Cheers Leon.

Still have it Russell

Hi guys, on the under tray, I have done that on my car for 2 reasons. 1) it protects the oil lines that have to run back under the oil pan. 2) it ties the bottom of the car together. The original cars have an oil pan that ties to the bell house and the front engine plate (which I have) but I...

Thanks Udo, I have a question for all you guys, I have got part of the car wrong and it annoys the hell out of me. My mates don't notice it and when i point it out they tell me I'm being pedantic. So my question is can you guys see it. If you have noticed then I'm picking you're being polite or...

Thanks Mesa. Andrew, did you stick the foil direct to the body or is it on a heat shield that has an air gap to the fibreglass??

No Begging required Howard, Just money. we have some sorting to do I have spent the weekend remodeling the rear deck so I can get some cool air in there and a heat shield. I'm going to change the plug leads to a Ceramic boot and cover the lead with heat wrap that MSD put out, I actually had some...
