Well,
My newly painted car was delivered today and I am very excited. My son
cristened the car (New British Racing Green) Mighty Green Bean (MGB). I
laughed and then thought it might just be what I'm looking for in a name
(fun). Anyways, when my buddy went though this process, the first thing he
did was to install the engine/tranny to make more space in his garage. But
this seemed to get in the way of installing the other stuff that goes in the
engine bay. So, I thought you guys would have good advice on a wise order
in which to rebuild my car.
Particulars: 1966 MGB roadster totally stripped except for the wheels and
accompanying suspension.
First thing I was going to do was to put the car on stands, remove rear axle
and the front crossmember. Then scrape/clean the bottom of the car and put
on a coat of heavy-duty paint. Then put new gasket/seals/brakes in the rear
axle and rebuild the front suspension before attaching them. Then from
there, I don't know what comes next. Any suggestions?
