These shots were taken just after spraying on August 24, 2002.  The camera does not reproduce the color accurately so it's hard to judge from these photos.  It is "British Racing Green" used on MGB's from the early 70's.  In 1972 MG did not offer a color called British Racing Green, rather it was called "Green Mallard" that year.

Now the fun part - bolting on all the new shiny pieces...

Here we are pre-assembling the front cross member and suspension parts.

These other shots show the cross member now bolted in place with mostly new suspension parts.  All bushings, bolts, tie rod ends, buffers, and A-Frame arms are new.  The shocks have simply been cleaned up.  The rotors have all new bearings and seals.

She's back on her wheels and we're starting reassembly.  This is the stock exhaust manifold.  I removed all the rust, cleaned it, and coated with a coating available from Eastwood Company.

 

 

At the rear we have new leaf springs, bushings, u-bolts, and rebound straps.  In addition, we have all new brake parts including slave cylinders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New taillight and reverse lamp lenses.  The engine compartment is coming together now.  New wiring harness and oil cooler with braided lines.
