Its been a long while since I last posted anything, so first of all ill give a quick catch up on the '65
MGB roadster. The rebuilt engine and gearbox were fitted with new mountings, all ancillaries were either new or rebuilt components. All brake, clutch and fuel lines were made up new and the brakes and clutch bled and tested. All clips, nuts and bolts were of course, new.
A few modifications were added, in the form of a thermostatically controlled electric fan, electronic ignition, and a facet fuel pump and pressure regulator.
Under the car, as well as the rebuilt suspension, a rebuilt propshaft was fitted, a new stainless exhaust system, stainless fuel tank and all the pipes and wires routed as original.
The wiring loom is a new item with the correct braided covering, supplied by Autosparks.
A new dash top covering was fitted, and a refurbished windscreen bolted in place.
The car was then delivered back to its owner, who is going to fit the interior, bumpers and lights himself, and hopefully the car will be back on the road and being enjoyed before the summer is over.
The spitfires chassis is now painted and all the suspension has been rebuilt and fitted. New polybushes have been used throughout, New bearings, new drive shaft joints and everything has been painted. A lowered rear swing spring is fitted along with uprated front springs. Adjustable AVO dampers have been used - the fronts being adjustable for height as well as damping.
