First bits of spraying done...

The MG is now safely hidden around the back of the house for the winter and I've also just got back all the bits of engine-bay metal work that have been blasted and painted.

They look amazing compared with how they loooked last time I saw them!!

I've got replacement Lucas labels for the air filter boxes (and another pair of unmolested boxes to show me where the labels go!) but other than that, these parts are ready to go back in.

The last job I need to do before winter sets in proper is to remove the engine, so it can be cleaned, repaired and re-painted over the winter.

I'll post back when I do this in the next month or so...

    Hi Simon

    Thanks for your note on my blog. I like where you're going with yours. Lots of relevant pictures are always good!

    I seem to get around 16mpg these days, which is about 20 British mpg. I've been wondering for some time if I've been running rich, but I also do a lot of sub 20mph driving (traffic is always horrible here). When I first got the car it got 13mpg regularly. New plugs, cables, air filter, and several rounds of fuel cleaners brought it to what it is now. I think it's time for some new oxygen sensors (140k miles, original parts)! Or I could just disconnect the brake lines :-p

    Good luck with your B!
