The highlight had to be installing parts for the first time. I wanted to ensure that the underbody services fitted before I removed the shell from the rotator. This involved the routing of the fuel pipe, rear brake pipe, rear loom and the battery cable to the solenoid. I temporarily installed the fuel tank and pump to get the correct lengths and routing. Here’s a picture of shiny parts back on my MGB.
The shell is now ready for coming off the rotator. I will install the rear axle and front suspension so that it can be rolling ready its trip to the painters.
While the weather was good I prepared the front wings. First I keyed the factory primer, then sprayed anti-stone chip and finally sprayed Tartan red cellulose to match the rest of the underside. It’s great spraying outside. Lots of room to move and no masking of the garage required.

I almost forgot…I also repaired the ‘crack of doom’ in the driver’s door. That really should be the last bit of welding for a long time!
