[Mgs] Quiet, and OT

[Hans Duinhoven]

What a difference with our MGs. Lots of hose, crampy engine bay, complex design.

 

Not a lot to mention here.

The BGT’s paint is being detailed with a deep polish job by our oldest son. The result is amazing – like a mirror.

I am surprised. He explained to me, that all the years the car is with us, I covered it with a special BGT shaped cover cloth with the MG logo in de the cloth at the engine hood.

He states this cloth caused thousands of tiny scratches making the paint look dull.

Now the treated parts are covered with a wool blanket and we hope this does not cause that many scratches.

 

Anyone with similar experience?

 

Cheers,

Hans

Hello Friends,

   I write today to report that my 1985 2.5 liter, V6 Maserati Biturbo E, number 011 of 250, is back together and working great! Picture attached, if that is now allowed. The pump is circulating coolant through the intercoolers just as it should do. This is the first time it has worked since I got the car. At that time, the control circuit was disconnected and the coolant was drained - both probably because of a leak in the right bank intercooler. The new and apparently smaller hoses, from the manifold to the intercoolers, is actually pretty large id but thin wall silicone hose, rated for far greater pressure than the 7psi system. 

   Anyway, everything is together now with new intercoolers, new hoses, new clamps, and of course, new coolant. Great fun.

   Now back to your regularly scheduled silence.

 

Rick
