I'm a bit behind at the moment. The plenum design is stressing me out a bit as I've not had time to complete my templates and get them sent off.

Gotta rewire the whole car, I've done the lights etc but not engine/gauges/ECU - and the fuse/relay box. Quite pricey for all the bits I need and I'm skint at the moment :(

Plus there's a snag list the length of my arm. Damaged one of the brake lines the other day (copper) so that needs replacing. Haven't even sorted the tyres yet!

No, it's been 2 yrs since I worked on the car now. Unfortunately I've spent 6 months trying to remortgage my house and buy my housemate out, got to the last hurdle then the valuation was lower than expected and I need another 5k to sort it. Which means I either need to sell the MG to pay for it, or sell the house, which means i lose the MG storage and need to sell anyway.

Don't know what to do at the moment. It's like 90% complete now. :cry:

But on that note I'm far from a defeatist, and so onwards with the project methinks!
RIP MGB V8 .... served me well as a learning curve.

R32 Skyline V8 .... this one is gonna be a monster!
