This means the New passenger wing front and rear can be fitted and a new lower half rear, then prepped, primed and sprayed. Thats it for now, she did pass her MOT this morning and sailed right through. With the car only doing 1200 miles in a year nothing was expected to be broken or requiring attention. Now the whole front axle was stripped last year and fitted with, Uprated dampers, new springs, SuperFlex Race bushed, Goodrich Brake hoses, Uprated roll bar bushes (V8)and new rod ends. Under body shot (MOT guy said "well there is no way there is anything wrong under here LOL) While the drums were off, I though lets give them a lick of paint.
They are bonded pads, MG ones are usually riveted buy what the hell, bargin for 12 quid!Ĭleaned and new pads on, alse adjustors greesed with copper greese. (these had been in my local motor factors for 6 years so they said lol. I though the hell with it, the rear shoes were 4 years old so I replaced them and cleaned it all up. I though it was the pads worn, but it turned out to be the adjuster being stuck. Last year before the MOT, I noticed the rear shoes would not adjust. Also I want to use it between now and starting the revamp. Wearing its original 'Bracken' butterscotch paint, the GT was dispatched on April 8 to a British Leyland dealer in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. I know its odd MOT'in the car then stripin her, but I wanted to make sure the usualy bits are OK so they were not looming over me when the car is done. Our feature car, commission number GD2D1 1523G, was built at the Abingdon plant between March 18 and April 4, 1974, a mere five months before the raised ride height, polyurethane bumper-equipped MGBs appeared. Right then, as the car is due its new body panels ready for the shows, I needed to get a few jobs done first, mainly the MOT.
