Ken G's Journal

I've officially stopped work on the yellow 1977 MGB., There are still many things that need to be done with it, but it is running decent, all lights work and the brakes and emergency brakes are solid so it is time to move it out and move on to the next project.

Not that it is a huge change as it is a red 1976 MGB. I found this car via this forum, it has 2 minor rust issue, and a repair on the rear but overall the body is in great shape, but this car is in parts. I'm the third person to work on the rebuild and I want to get it across the finish line by next summer.
I swapped the front and rear axels that I had refurbished on the 77 to the 76 so those are done but that is it. The The wiring harness out, as are the brake and fuel lines, heater box and pretty much everything else. It is a bit over whelming knowing what to start with, so I did put up a post asking for suggestions, We'll see what people suggest.
I was not planning on painting the car at this point, just leaving it the original red. The paint is in decent shape and I just don't think I have the budget for a repaint right now. If everything goes well and I get it running by next summer maybe I'll strip it down and get it painted next winter.
Tonight I did a bit of clean up, I pulled the dash and the steering wheel turn signal stalk. Tomorrow I'll remove the ignition switch and if the weather is decent I'm going to power wash. There is a ton of dust, dirt and grime from 15+ years of storage that I'd like to clean up.

Does it make sense to pull the engine before starting to work on lines, hoses and heater box? These are a couple of suggestions I've gotten so far.
